Magomed Tolboev
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Magomed Tolboev (Магомед Толбоев) was a test-pilot and a pilot for the Buran space shuttle and decorated with the title Hero of Russia. Tolboev was the focus of international attention due to an attack on him by individuals from the Moscow police department. Some have claim the attack was racially motivated because Tolboev had "Chechen features." Though charges were not brought up by Tolboev, the Moscow police have looked into the incident. [1]
