User:Kirill Lokshin is the de facto leader of Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee. Under his watch, the Committee has endured scandal after scandal, from the pseudonymous FT2's zoophilia edits to David Boothroyd's exposure and resignation.[1][2][3]

Kirill was 22 years old in December 2006.[4] As recently as late 2008, he gave his address as that of his parents, Samuel and Marina Lokshin.

In 2005, Mr. Lokshin stated that he was "shamelessly stealing [a] userbox idea from Essjay," a disgraced fraud who was dismissed from all positions of authority ater havng been caught lying to the press and falsifying his credentials.[5] Nine hours later, he added that he was "an engineer living in the state of Maryland."[6]
