People are not cows. There is no that amount of blood in the human body. The article says of 1500 dead people, for that amount of blood it must be more likely 150.000. Plus, blood oxidates, it doesn't appear that red on the ground, let alone satelite image.

Good point, to me it seems like an exaggerated editing because in some images it looks like a brush was used in photoshop. They are as if very well "put on".

Controversial Russian tourist secretly records African women

A major online controversy is gaining attention across East and West Africa as discussions surrounding alleged leaked content connected to Yaytseslav trend across social platforms.

Vyacheslav Trahov, known online as Yaytseslav, is a Russian content creator who gained international notoriety in early February 2026 for allegedly recording and distributing intimate videos of his encounters with Ghanaian and Kenyan women without their consent. He reportedly used Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses with hidden cameras to film interactions that began in public spaces like the Accra Mall and escalated to hotel rooms within hours. He facilitated his quick advances by portraying their potential meetup as an encounter only possible in that moment as he would be leaving the country the next day. The videos, shared on TikTok, YouTube, and a private Telegram channel, showed rapid advances and intimate acts, often without explicit consent for recording or distribution.

The case has sparked international debate on consent, digital privacy, sex tourism, and the exploitation of vulnerable populations. Yaytseslav responded via Telegram, downplaying the content as "travel vlogging" and claiming women were "in demand" in Africa. He then deleted the numerous videos he took of the Ghanian women. While rumors of his arrest in Tokyo, Japan remain unconfirmed, the scandal continues to draw attention to the risks of wearable surveillance technology and the need for stronger global legal frameworks.

Cyber Security Authority Communication Director Benjamin Madugu confirms that the agency will investigate Yaytseslav over his videos with Ghanaian women. The Ghanaian government is seeking his extradition for violating the Cybersecurity Act, 2020, particularly Section 67, which criminalizes non-consensual sharing of intimate images—potentially punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

Yaytseslav the Russian 'content creator' has gone viral for his exploits in Ghana and Kenya. He secretly filmed the women he met in these countries by using 'meta smart glasses'. The videos were then uploaded to his social media accounts for sell unbeknown to the women. After his videos gained gained popularity he fled from Ghana to Kenya. Only to continue his 'travel vlogging' exploits on new unsuspecting victims in Kenya. He has since deleted his Youtube channel and made his TikTok private. (All videos recorded while in Ghana have also been removed from his TikTok). Not sure if the more 'explicit' videos said to have sold through his private Telegram page are still up.

Unsubstantiated rumores from his girlfriend back in Russia report that Yaytseslav contracted HIV in South Africa (2020); he then returned to Africa with the personal mission to infect as many women as possible. His believed to not strictly adhere to taking his HIV medication as this could impact his ability to spread the disease. Since the story went viral one of his victims' attempted suicide; at least one of the woman he met at Church faces public humiliation from her congregation and the married women Yaytseslav slept with now have to confront their partners on getting tested.

Russian guy recording women in Kenya has sparked widespread debate online, with the story of the Russian man in Kenya quickly going viral across social media platforms as viewers question the ethics of hidden recording, consent, and the growing trend of controversial content creation for monetization. The Russian man in Kenya allegedly approached women in public spaces, striking up casual conversations before inviting them for follow-up meetings that were also captured on camera, and as clips began circulating online many viewers expressed concern that the women may not have been aware they were being filmed. As the videos spread, the Russian man in Kenya became a trending topic in both Kenya and other African countries, raising conversations about privacy laws, digital responsibility, and how far some creators will go in pursuit of views, engagement, and online income. The presence of wearable recording technology has added another layer to the discussion, with critics saying the actions of the Russian man in Kenya highlight the urgent need for clearer boundaries between public interaction and personal privacy in the age of viral content. While investigations and public reactions continue to unfold, the story of the Russian man in Kenya has become a case study in modern internet culture, where travel vlogging, social experiments, and monetized storytelling can sometimes collide with serious ethical questions, leaving audiences divided over whether this was content creation gone too far or a cautionary tale about awareness in an increasingly recorded world.

Videos in Defense of Yaytseslav
After the Ghanian authorities made public their wishes to arrest him; Yaytseslav begun to upload videos to prove his innocence that he isn't a predator but rather some women willingly pushed themselves towards him.
