Russian Man Viral Videos from Africa: Vladislav Lyulkov Unmasked as Ghana and Kenya Demand Justice
Unmasking Vladislav Lyulkov: The truth behind the Russian Man’s viral videos from Africa. As Ghana and Kenya issue official statements, learn about Lyulkov's history of predatory behavior, the latest legal updates, and how victims can seek justice.
The global investigation into the Russian national known online as "Yaytseslav" has taken a definitive turn with the confirmation of his true identity as Vladislav Lyulkov. As authorities in Kenya and Ghana move to hold him accountable, new reports from his home country suggest a long-standing pattern of behaviour that predates his activities in Africa.
The Russian Man Behind the Videos Leaked on Telegram: Who is Vladislav Lyulkov?
Recent unmasking by Russian investigative platforms and social media users has revealed that Vyacheslav Trahov "Yaytseslav" (also spelt "Yayteslav") is a carefully constructed digital facade for Vladislav Lyulkov to make a new Telegram Channel.
Pattern of Behaviour: Reports from Russian X (formerly Twitter) users claim that Lyulkov is "not new to approaching and recording women" and that he has been engaging in similar behaviour for years within Russia before his clips began trending in Africa.
Fabricated Identity: Investigations suggest Lyulkov used the pseudonym to distance himself from his past and to build an "elite" persona that would appeal to women in foreign countries, a tactic he reportedly used to facilitate his recordings.
Contradicting the 'Old Content' Defence: While Lyulkov claimed his videos were "almost a year old" to downplay the current outrage, digital forensic analysis and reports from Russian news platforms indicate a continuous stream of activity, suggesting his "expeditions" were ongoing and recent.

Kenya’s Call for Human Rights: Hon. Geoffrey Mosiria has been a vocal advocate for the victims in Kenya, citing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 12) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Article 17) to demand that Lyulkov be held accountable for his "unlawful attacks on honour and reputation". Mosiria emphasised that "foreign internationals must respect rules of the land," and questioned whether a Kenyan would be left "scot-free" if found doing the same in Russia.
