Semyon Tokmakov

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Semyon Valeryevich Tokmakov (Russian: Семён Валерьевич Токмаков born 26 July 1975 in Rybinsk, Russia)[1] is a figure in the Russian nationalist movement. Tokmakov was a leader of the skinhead organization Russian Goal. He achieved notoriety in 1998 when he and other skinheads attacked William Jefferson, a black United States Marine embassy guard in Moscow. Semyonov was arrested for the attack, spending a year and a half in prison.[1]

As of 2004, Tokmakov was referenced as the "youth leader" for Russia's People's National Party. [2]

The anti-fascist Russian website Freedom-online.narod.ru claims that Tokmakov was born in the city of Rybinsk in 1978, and worked as a security guard there.[3]

[edit] Media quotes from Tokmakov

  • "Why have they all come here? They bring nothing but drugs and AIDS. Every day they harass and steal our women."[4]
  • "When you kill cockroaches, you don't feel sorry for them, do you?" [5]
