Simeon Boikov
Simeon Boikov, known as the 'Aussie Cossack', is an Australian political activist with Russian ties who gained notoriety for his vocal support of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He became involved in legal controversies after breaching a court suppression order related to the arrest of a monastery abuser, resulting in a 10-month prison sentence. Following his release, Boikov sought refuge in the Russian consulate in Australia, where he has remained for over 930 days amid fears of further legal repercussions.
