Lana Lokteff (Atlantic Resolve)

Lana Jennifer Lokteff (March 14th, 1979 - January 12th, 2017) was a Cascadian politician known for declaring herself President of the Russo-Northwest Occupational Government and later attempting to gain the position of President of Cascadia.

Early Life
Lana Lokteff was born in the Chinatown of the Old Town district in Portland, Oregon. In an interview with Millennial Woes (another Alt-Right Personality) she expressed that she was one of the only white people within her predominantly East Asian neighborhood which she admitted made her feel "insecure" and may have played a role for her turning to the Alt-Right and White Nationalism later on. Though this differs from a different report given by Alissa Chang, one of Lokteff's classmates and only friends. She said in a 2018 interview with CNN that Lokteff "resented her Whiteness as it alienated her from her Asian peers" and she was often bullied for "trying to act Asian". Lokteff then moved up to Spokane to marry Henrik Palmgren, a Swedish white nationalist.

Host of Red Ice TV (2011-2016)
After marrying Henrik Palmgren, she became Host of his website known as Red Ice TV. In 2014, Red Ice began to shift from Libertarian content to more reactionary and White Nationalist talking points. In 2016 when Lokteff left to pursue her ambitions as President of the Russo-Northwest Occupational Government, the YouTube Channel had over 97,392 subscribers.

President of the Russo-Northwest Occupational Government
On April 7th, 2016; a letter was sent to Lokteff from her home in Spokane which appeared to be from General Borisov, Prefect of the Russo-Northwest Occupational Government. The letter asked for Lokteff to become President of the Government in order to "Unify White Americans under the Russian cause". Lokteff accepted this offer, but there were no official appointment documents which lead to tensions between Lokteff and Borisov. Borisov and Putin issued a joint statement in which they stated that:"'The CIA sent a fake letter to Lokteff which would lead to destabilization of the Russo-Northwest Occupational Government in order to collapse it so the US and Canada could retake their territory. We ask Lokteff to step down and she shall be repaid greatly and will officially become President after the war is over' - Paragraph 4 of the Joint Statement, 2017."Lokteff did not listen and continued to act as President of the Occupational Government.

President of Cascadia
With the formation of Cascadia in Autumn of 2016, Lokteff released a statement claiming that she was President of Cascadia and that "The Jewish aligned degenerates in Moscow no longer have any leverage over the free white people of Cascadia." Lokteff's supporters followed her acts as President, they partook in acts such as raiding and destroying non-white communities, spreading propaganda posters across major cities within Cascadia, and censoring advertisements they deemed "anti-white". Lokteff's location was never truly known, until she was finally killed in a raid by Borisov-aligned troops on January 12th, 2017. This ended the Presidential Crisis and allowed for the first elections to occur in which former Alaska governor Bill Walker won the elections.
