Yaytseslav: Name, Face of Russian Man Who Shared Escapades With Ghanaian Women Emerge in Video
- A Russian man, Yaytseslav, has gone viral after sharing videos of his private escapades with Ghanaian women online
- Many of the videos showed him wooing women in Accra and taking them to his apartment without ever showing his face
- However, the Russian man's appearance was reportedly captured in a video, giving a look at Yaytseslav's true identity
A video purported to show the face of Yaytseslav, the Russian man who recorded and shared videos of his escapades with Ghanaian women online, has popped up.
Yaytseslav, who claims to be a Russian, has been trending online after videos of his dealings with some Ghanaian women surfaced online on Thursday, February 12, 2026.
Many of the videos showed him moving around the Accra Mall area, getting acquainted with shoppers and other passersby, and recording their interactions to share online.

Russian man Yaytseslav's escapades with Ghanaian women
In many instances, he convinced the ladies to exchange their phone numbers with him and even got them to visit his residence later, all of which he records to put online.
He syndicates his content across TikTok, YouTube, and Telegram, where he has a private channel.
Summaries of his videos appear on TikTok and YouTube, while full content can be accessed on the private Telegram channel at a reported monthly subscription fee.
In one video, which has racked up over 1.6 million views on TikTok, a lady he met while shopping at the mall followed him home without him saying much.
Despite sharing so many videos, Yaytseslav has cleverly managed to keep himself out of the picture, leaving many to wonder who he really is and what he looks like.
His behaviour suggests that the women might not have been aware their meetings were being recorded.
If so, this would likely violate multiple Ghanaian laws, including section 67 of the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038), which states:
"A person shall not, with intent to cause serious emotional distress, intentionally distribute or intentionally cause another person to distribute the [private] image or prohibited visual recording of another identifiable person without the consent of the person depicted."

Face of Russian in viral videos emerges
Vlogger Clement Nana Asamoah of Gossips 24 TV, who was among the first to blow the whistle on Yaytseslav's activities, has shared a video of the Russian.
The video shows him wearing a lime green T-shirt over light grey pants with glasses and a brown crossbody bag worn across his shoulder.
He moved around in the hallway of an apartment as he talked to someone behind him.
While it is not abundantly clear that he is the one, the video had him wearing the blue wrist watch, which has featured in many of Yaytseslav's videos.
Watch the Facebook video below:
An earlier Facebook post by Gossips 24 TV indicated that Yaytseslav may not be his real name, as he is reportedly called Vyacheslav Trahov.
Two ladies refuse Russian man Yaytseslav's advances
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh has reported that not all the Ghanaian ladies Yaytseslav encountered had given in to his advances, like the duo he met at the Accra Mall in another video that has gone viral.
He complimented their good looks and told them he was from Russia, but was interrupted by one of the women, indicating that her sister was married, before he unsuccessfully attempted to give them his contact information.
