Simeon Boikov, known online as the ‘Aussie Cossack,’ was arrested in December 2022 for assaulting a 76-year-old man during a protest. Following the incident, Boikov moved into the Russian consulate in Australia, where he has described the living conditions as ‘prison-like.’ His actions have sparked debate about the treatment of foreign nationals in diplomatic facilities and the use of such spaces for political activism.
