Vyacheslav Trahov, who claims Russian nationality, has become a trending topic in the country after clips of his dealings with some Ghanaian women surfaced online on Thursday, February 12, 2026.
Many of the controversial videos showed him moving around the Accra Mall area, interacting with female shoppers and other passersby he encountered on the streets.
He would later invite them to his apartment and record their conversations and escapades with his Meta glasses to share online, reportedly without their permission.
Russian man Yaytseslav's escapades with Ghanaian women
In many instances, he convinced the Ghanaian ladies to exchange their phone numbers with him before convincing them to visit his residence later, all of which he records to share online.
After their escapades, he breached many privacy laws by uploading his content on TikTok, YouTube, and Telegram, where he has a private channel.
Excerpts of his videos were uploaded online, while the full content was accessible on his private Telegram channel at a subscription fee of five dollars per month.
The videos sparked outrage among Ghanaians on social media, with many questioning how he was able to enter the country and engage in his activities without being caught.
At first, many people wondered who the infamous Russian man really was, as he was careful to hide his face in the videos while filming his dealings with the women.
However, vlogger Clement Nana Asamoah of Gossips 24 TV, who was among the first to blow the whistle on Yaytseslav's activities, unveiled his identity on social media.
He shared reported videos of the man with his face showing as he and a lady went to his apartment after a public outing.
Amid the controversy, Yaytseslav has deleted all videos of his escapades with Ghanaian women on TikTok and made his account private.
The Facebook video said to show Yaytselav's full identity amid the controversy is below:

Owiredu called on both the current Ghanaian Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and the Interior Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak to publicly explain how Yaytseslav was able to enter the country and carry out his recorded dealings.
He wrote:
"As a former Deputy Foreign Minister and an Ambassador, I can say with authority that no one enters Ghana without clearance. Who approved the visa? Was it issued in Moscow or in Accra?"
"What checks were done? The Foreign Affairs Minister and the Minister of Interior must explain. Our women deserve better."

"This has got nothing to do with approval or anything. Our women must do better. The guy didn’t force anyone to follow him. They did it willingly. Those with dignity refused to follow him."
Efoavugah said:
"The video was apparently recorded years ago, which means he entered under your watch, so please explain to us now. Did you approve his visa? What checks did you do, Honourable?"
