Russian man Yaytseslav's videos spark outrage
Yaytseslav, a Russian content creator whose real name is Vyacheslav Trahov, has been trending online after videos showing him in various encounters with multiple women emerged.
The videos sparked widespread outrage on social media in Ghana, raising concerns about consent, privacy, and the ethics of recording with his Meta glasses and monetising such interactions.
The commentary around the shared videos suggested that Yaytseslav had affairs with the ladies involved, including Serena, who was captured meeting him at Accra Mall in the afternoon and ending up in his room in the evening.

Married woman in Yaytseslav's video speaks
Speaking in a video interview with vlogger Naana Donkor Arthur (NDA), Serena stated that she had gone to Yaytseslav's room to discuss business and left when she realised he was trying to be inappropriate with her.
The woman, who identified herself as a real estate agent, explained that she had gone to the mall to meet her boss, who was picking her up for work-related tasks, and decided to buy something while waiting.
Yaytseslav approached her while she was in a shop and introduced himself as a Russian man, who was new in town and looking for an apartment after she had told him she was an estate agent.
"We had a brief conversation during which I mentioned my profession. He said he was looking for a new apartment, explaining that he had just arrived in the country and that his current place was expensive," she said.

Seeing what she believed was a legitimate business opportunity, she shared her contact details so Yaytseslav could reach out later about potential properties.
She explained that he subsequently invited her to his apartment, where she went under the assumption that they would discuss his housing needs professionally.
However, the situation quickly changed upon her arrival.
"Upon arrival, the conversation shifted away from anything professional, so I chose to leave immediately. Nothing inappropriate happened between us at any point," she stated firmly.
She further alleged that the viral videos circulating online had been heavily edited and did not accurately reflect what actually transpired during their interaction, but were manipulated to fit the Russian's narrative and create misleading content for his online platforms.

The lady, known as Dora, narrated the events, stating that Yaytseslav pursued her to get her number, and she only gave it to him to stop him from following her and her friends.
