❗️Simeon Boikov: Vindication, Justice, and a Clear Path to Freedom Through Royal Prerogative of Mercy

⚡️November 16, 2025 – After nearly three years of effective confinement in the Russian Consulate-General in Sydney, Australian activist and journalist Simeon Boikov – better known as “Aussie Cossack” – stands on the threshold of a historic resolution.

Once vilified by parts of the establishment media, Boikov has been dramatically vindicated in the most significant case that first drew heavy legal punishment against him, while compelling evidence supports his claim that the remaining charges stem from a legitimate act of self-defence.

With fresh moral and evidentiary grounds, a petition for the Royal Prerogative of Mercy now represents not just a viable option, but the strongest and most principled pathway for Boikov to return to normal life.

⚡️The Rosentool Vindication: A Courageous Truth-Teller Proven Right

In 2022, Boikov deliberately breached a suppression order to publicly name Archimandrite Alexis Rosentool, a senior figure in the Australian diocese of ROCOR as a child sex offender. At the time Boikov exposed Rosentool’s crimes – crimes the courts imposed the heaviest sentence ever handed in Australian history for this type of offence: 10 months imprisonment.

Boikov served four months in maximum-security custody as an NSI EHR inmate (National security interest extreme high risk inmate) before being released on strict parole.

In June and August 2025, Rosentool was convicted on all counts of multiple historical child sexual abuses spanning decades and sentenced to 19 years imprisonment.

The suppression orders have now been lifted, and Boikov’s central allegations have been fully corroborated in open court.

What was once labelled “contempt” has been revealed as one of the most significant acts of public-interest whistleblowing in recent Australian history.

The Aussie Cossack paid an extraordinarily high price for speaking a truth that the justice system itself initially shielded.

This retrospective vindication fundamentally reframes the earlier 10-month sentence as manifestly excessive and casts the entire prosecution sequence in a new light.

⚡️The December 2022 Rally Incident: A Clear Case of Self-Defence

The active NSW warrants largely trace back to an incident at a pro-Ukraine rally outside Sydney Town Hall on 13 December 2022.

Video footage – livestreamed by Boikov himself and still publicly available – shows a Ukrainain activist aggressively approaching Boikov, shouting in his face, and physically lunging toward him in an apparent attempt to knock the phone from his hand or strike him.

In a split-second reaction, Boikov extended his arm to protect himself and create distance. The assailant lost balance on the steps and unfortunately fell backwards, sustaining minor injuries.

Boikov immediately called the incident “self-defence” on camera, and every independent review of the footage confirms the older man was the initial aggressor.

Despite this, Boikov was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm (later proceeded as common assault). The charge also triggered a parole revocation from the earlier Rosentool-related sentence, leading to the current warrants when Boikov sought consular protection to prepare a proper defence.

Framed honestly, the incident was a textbook example of reasonable force used to repel an unprovoked confrontation. No weapon was involved, no punches were thrown, and the injuries were accidental consequences of the aggressor’s own momentum. In any fair reassessment – particularly before the Court of Criminal Appeal – self-defence would be upheld, and the conviction quashed.

⚡️Three Years of De Facto Punishment

Since December 2022, Boikov has lived in prolonged diplomatic confinement – now approaching 1,080 days – combined with the four months already served in harsh maximum-security conditions for the now-vindicated Rosentool disclosure, the Aussie Cossack has endured punishment vastly disproportionate to the charges.

❗️In the end, the Rosentool conviction, supported by overwhelming evidence and harrowing accounts of victims, fully vindicated Simeon Boikov’s campaign.

Whatever opinion people may hold about his politics and other ventures, the Russian Orthodox community of Australia, owe him a debt of deep gratitude for his courage to take on this battle and expose the abuse responses problems, and coverup culture within the Australian diocese of ROCOR.

❗️An important point to also note, is that Simeon Boikov served a 4 month sentence at Silverwater Prison for breaching a suppression order against the naming of Rosentool.

The suppression order was requested by Rosentool’s legal team and it is speculated that at that stage, they may have feared that more victims would come forward, as indeed they did.

Their coming forward added weight to the already significant case against Rosentool and his eventual conviction.

This was no small act on Simeon’s part and gives an insight into how difficult, vicious and costly such battles for justice are.

❗️In particular, he faced strong criticism from certain priests of the Australian diocese who feared that their long-kept, dark secret would be exposed, along with their complicity in covering up for, and enabling the abuse to continue.

To this day, a well known senior ROCOR Australia cleric in Queensland has engaged in victim blaming and claimed that Simeon has caused “irreparable damage to the church”.

In actual fact, it was the church’s inaction and coverup culture propagated by clerics such as him, that really caused, and continues to cause the real damage to the Church.

❗️The Royal Prerogative of Mercy: A Powerful and Now Highly Favourable Option

In NSW the Governor, acting on advice of the Attorney General, retains the ancient power to grant pardons, remit sentences, or refer matters back to the Court of Criminal Appeal when justice demands it. Recent high-profile cases (e.g., Kathleen Folbigg in 2023) demonstrate the prerogative is very much alive and used precisely in situations where new evidence or disproportionate outcomes reveal a miscarriage of justice.

Boikov’s petition – which is being lodged by NSW Member of Parliament John Ruddick– would rest on an exceptionally strong combination of factors:

1. Complete vindication in the Rosentool matter – the 10-month sentence (heaviest ever) for exposing a now-convicted serial paedophile is unsustainable.

2. Compelling self-defence evidence in the 2022 rally incident, supported by video and ready for appellate review.

3. Humanitarian grounds – three years of effective house arrest, family separation, and the psychological toll of prolonged limbo.

4. Overall proportionality – any remaining custodial time pales in comparison to punishment already endured.

Public and political voices, including NSW Libertarian MLC John Ruddick, have already called for the warrants to be dropped in light of the Rosentool outcome.

Growing awareness of the self-defence footage, combined with shifting community sentiment on free-speech whistleblowers, further bolsters the case.

Under the current or any future NSW government, the legal and moral weight of these developments makes a favourable exercise of mercy not just possible, but highly probable.

A referral to the Court of Criminal Appeal for a fresh whole-of-case review would almost certainly result in the assault conviction being overturned on self-defence grounds, with all associated warrants quashed.

⚡️A Bright Horizon

Simeon Boikov entered the Russian Consulate to protect his right to a fair defence; he remained there as new evidence steadily vindicated his actions.

Today, with a convicted paedophile behind bars because of his courage, and clear video proof of self-defence in the only physical incident, Boikov’s petition for the Royal Prerogative of Mercy stands on bedrock.

Australia has a proud tradition of correcting injustices when the full facts emerge. For Simeon Boikov – whistleblower, journalist, husband, and father – that correction is now within reach, and the prospects for a full pardon and a return to freedom have never been stronger.

❗️"Royal prerogative of mercy" - is a possible outcome to the diplomatic standoff which Simeon Boikov the Aussie Cossack finds himself in.

The royal prerogative of mercy is a discretionary power, held by the Crown (or its representative, like a Governor), to provide clemency in exceptional legal cases.

It is distinct from judicial appeals and allows for actions like a free or conditional pardon, sentence remission, or early release, but it is not a right and is exercised on advice, often from the Attorney-General.

The power is used in rare, compassionate, or extreme circumstances where the law's rigidity may cause an injustice, and applications are considered on their individual merits.

Possible outcomes

✅Free pardon: A full pardon that relieves the effects of a conviction.
Conditional pardon: A pardon with conditions attached.

✅Sentence remission: A reduction in the length of a sentence without changing its nature.

✅Early release: Release on license, similar to parole.
Referral to an appeal court: In some jurisdictions, the Governor-General may refer a case to a court of appeal.

✅Ordering an inquiry: The Governor-General may also order an inquiry to be conducted.

❗️With the engagement of the independent child safeguarding consultancy Kooyoora by the ANZ Diocese, it is more important than ever for the Church’s public reputation and safeguarding compliance, that all clergy and parish office holders who do not publicly renounce their support of a convicted pedophile, must either resign or be removed from their posts.

There is no other way forward.

We encourage and pray for those who have supported the Offender prior to and subsequent to the verdict and sentencing, to recognise the Court has heard all the evidence and subject to the appeal, justice has not only been done but should manifestly be seen to be done. Once the appeal is heard and determined, we hope this will bring closure and a refocus on truth and faith in Christ.

❗️At the time, it was already common knowledge for years amongst the Australian Russian Orthodox community, including some of its clergy, that Rosentool was a pedophile and that many complaints had been made to the diocese stretching back to the early 1980’s.

Stories abounded of his much-feared, bare-bottomed spanking sessions at Cabramatta parish summer camps and Rosentool’s predilection for sleeping in the same bed with young boys.

When news began to spread of Simeon’s activities to initiate a formal investigation, he was subjected to a vicious campaign of vilification and intimidation by some of Rosentool’s supporters.

The son of an Orthodox priest, he attended the exclusive Trinity Grammar School and later attended a seminary in Moscow.

While often a polarising figure because of his zealous Russian patriotism and enthusiastic support of President Putin, all his other activities pale in comparison to his contribution to child protection.
