Volen Nikolov Siderov (Bulgarian: Волен Николов Сидеров [ˈvɔlɛn ˈsidɛrof]; born 19 April 1956) is a Bulgarian far-right politician and chairman of the nationalist party Attack. He has been the editor of numerous newspapers and has authored five books.
In 2021, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Bulgarian courts had erred in not upholding civil discrimination claims against Siderov for his anti-Jewish and anti-Romani statements.
