An infamous pro-Putin broadcaster known as “Aussie Cossack” skipped his own gathering in front of the Russian embassy.
Simeon Boikov, 32, is attempting to find safety within the embassy after a warrant for his arrest was issued in January as a result of his failure to show up for court.
He is accused of hitting a 76-year-old man during a protest in Sydney’s Town Hall in December in support of Ukraine.
During a so-called “freedom rally” on Saturday, Boikov’s followers gathered in front of the Russian consulate to officially begin their fellow conspiracists Ricardo Bosi and Dave Graham’s NSW election campaigns.
The man of the hour did not appear despite staging a sausage sizzle and hundreds of people coming with Russian flags and Z shirts, a pro-Russian military emblem.
Boikov was touted as making his first public appearance since hiding himself within the embassy during the gathering.
Instead, after apparently hearing that cops would “jump him” if he left the premises, the YouTuber broadcast the incident on his channel.
Boikov instead made a phone call to the audience.
If it weren’t for the Americans, Germans, and NATO bringing in their weapons and trainers, this conflict (in Ukraine) would have ended in a week. He informed the gathering, “Their goal is not to win or lose the war.
“To earn as much money as they can” is their stated goal.
Happy birthday messages were sent to him through the live broadcast, which irritated Boikov since it kept cutting in and out.
During the course of his social media accounts, which include those on Facebook, YouTube, and Telegram, Mr. Boikov has garnered close to 230,000 followers.
The 32-year-old claimed to be the commander of the Australian Cossacks, an organization that fosters pro-Russian government attitude, and was a significant figure in the anti-vaccine mandate rallies that took place in Canberra in 2022.
Bosi, a former lieutenant colonel in the Australian Army’s Special Forces who is now a right-wing fanatic, used the gathering to introduce his bid for the NSW upper house.
That was a “debt we will never be able to pay,” he said, thanking the Russians for fighting in Ukraine.
The conspiracy theorist also said that the NSW election commission would be found guilty of electoral fraud if he was not voted to the upper house of NSW.
“We know they do it, so it’s very clear.” Not early voting, he advised.
They discard them and replace them with voting boxes that have been pre-filled with the outcomes they want.
Bosi also criticized the Queensland Police for labeling the tragic ambush on police at Wieambilla by the Train family as Australia’s first act of fundamentalist terrorism by a Christian group.
She didn’t understand a word she was saying. She needed help badly. It seems that Christians are now terrorists.
“There have been Islamist terrorists.” I apologize; it was mental disease. Thus we are unable to locate Islamist terrorists. Yet, they must now arrest you if you utter the Lord’s Prayer with the term sovereign.
