Yaytseslav shared short versions of these videos on popular platforms such as TikTok and YouTube, but the full footage was exclusively uploaded to his private Telegram channel, where he charges a monthly subscription fee.
The videos, featuring women from various countries, including Kenya, South Africa, and Ghana, have raised serious ethical questions and sparked a broader conversation about consent and privacy.
What did Kenyans say about Yaytseslav’s videos?
Amid the debate, a Kenyan influencer has blamed Kenyan men. Going by Easter Kojwang on Facebook, the woman argued that Kenyan men should protect women.
“Rwandan and South Sudanese men would have had that despicable Russian arrested in his dingy bedsitter immediately.
But instead, the Kenyan brothers were busy shifting blame and castigating the women. Hold that man accountable,” she demanded on Saturday, February 14.
Her post was met with quite divisive reactions, with many men differing with her.
“So Kenyan men are the problem again?” asked one guy.
“You should relocate to South Sudan,” wrote another.
On the same day, one Kenyan man took action, demanding investigations into Yaytseslav’s actions.
An image captured at the CBD showed the man standing with a whiteboard on which he had written his demands.
“I will stand here until the Russian guy is investigated and arrested.
If a Russian man comes into our country, exploits women, secretly records them, and turns their private moments into online speculation, what does this indicate about us if we stay silent?” he posed.
Kenyans reacted to the man’s stunt by writing:
tony_don_125:
“This one saw the wife live.”
manuelmj54:
“The Russian guy is wrong for recording without their consent, but women, too, should change their ways and character.”
Breezylaboy:
“What crime did he commit?”
Mwehndwer:
“Is this the husband of one of them?”
mchoraji_clarice:
“Most Africans tend to think that white people have money; that’s the issue; education and reasoning are the problems.”
