Biography
Notable Accomplishments
Coming to power in 2004, during the Second Cold War, Tikonov was considered a moderate if not liberal leader. With the tentative support of the Soviet leadership, he defused the international tensions, and sought to bring the Russian economy back from the brink of collapse.
His biggest accomplishment, after ending the Second Cold War in 2005, was the signing of the Tikonov Accords in 2011. In return for free and democratic elections in the Warsaw Pact nations, the USA promised desperately needed financial aid and expertise.[2]
Marriage and children
Oleg Tikonov was married to Nadja Tikonova. Together they had two sons, Pyotr (b. 2002) and Nicholas (b. 2003).[1]
Death
On January 14th, 2011 at 11:53 pm local time, merely hours after signing the Tikonov Accords, Oleg Tikonov was assassinated by Mustafa Khemar Rhasori, a Muslim fanatic. Posing as a militiaman, Rhasori suicide-bombed the Premier's limousine, killing not only Tikonov himself, but also his wife and children.[1]
Legacy
Almost immediately after his death, the struggling Soviet Union fell into civil war and collapsed, with the emerging statelets eventually being absorbed by the Western Alliance.[1]
One and a half centuries after his death, the planet Tikonov was named in his honor; due to its location, the planet quickly became the leader of the Tikonov Union and its many successor states.[3]
