Vyacheslav Trahov, who claims to be a Russian, has gone viral online 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 recorded 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.
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.
Following the backlash, Yaytseslav deleted all the videos of his dealings with the Ghanaian women from his social media platforms before being banned after massive agitation online.
The controversy has also drawn public responses from several government agencies, including the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection, which condemned the Russian man's actions and launched a probe into the matter.
Communications Minister Sam George also shared plans to extradite Yaytseslav to the country to face possible prosecution, while the Russian embassy released a statement to acknowledge the scandal.

Yaytseslav speaks on alleged escapades scandal
In an alleged interaction with Gossips24TV's Clement Nana Asamoah, Yaytseslav claimed that most of the allegations against him were untrue.
According to him, he travelled to Ghana for vacation due to his love for the African continent and its people, whom he described as "open and pleasant to talk to."
Yaytseslav denied claims of filming his escapades with the Ghanaians and sharing them on his social media platforms.

The Russian content creator claimed that he only took footage to show the world that there were beautiful women in various African countries.
He reportedly said:
"Most of the information is not true. I came to Ghana on vacation because I like Africa and African people. They are very open and pleasant to talk to. "
"Many media write untruths. I don't own any explicit channels. I just wanted to show what nice women live in African countries."
Yaytseslav is reported to have claimed that the women who accused him of filming their escapades and uploading them online were only interested in seeking fame and gaining traction.
He also recounted his alleged interactions with one of the victims, who had accused him of making inappropriate advances towards him during their encounter in a hotel room.
