ROMANOV Vladimir Nikolayevich

A russian propagandist who actively supports the aggression of the russian federation against Ukraine, systematically promotes kremlin narratives, calling the occupied territories of Ukraine "part of russia" and justifying russia's war against Ukraine, and makes a large number of stories about the war in the TOT of Ukraine.
He is known as the author of the Telegram channel "Romanov Light" with more than 136 thousand subscribers, through which he distributes propaganda content, including his own photos and videos from the front, glorifying the russian military and discrediting the Armed Forces of Ukraine, calling them "Nazis" and claiming that villages and cities have fallen under the control of russian troops, sometimes referring to "enemy resources" to confirm the information.
In May 2025, he filmed and posted on his Telegram channel a video from the Crimean Bridge after the attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which was later actively disseminated by russian propaganda media.
He calls to provide the addresses of Ukrainian territorial recruitment centers and coordinates for strikes through the Telegram bot "Romanov Light", promising "results" and "complete anonymity". This call is aimed at gathering intelligence to organize attacks on Ukrainian TRCs, which is a direct support of russia's subversive activities and a threat to Ukraine's national security.
He also actively raises funds for the needs of the russian army through the Telegram channel "Romanov SUPPORT FOR THE FRONT", where he posts details for donations and subsequent reports on the purchase of medical equipment, ATVs, etc. for the russian military.
He has received awards from enemy military units.
He resides in the temporarily occupied Sevastopol, has also repeatedly visited the active combat zone in eastern and southern Ukraine, and documents his presence in the temporarily occupied Siverskodonetsk, Luhansk region (March 2023), and Chuhuiv district, Kharkiv region (June 2024).
In April 2023, he released a video from the Polohivskyi district, Zaporizhia region, where he personally takes part in a combat episode and launches a strike from the russian anti-tank missile system "Kornet" at the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, demonstrating direct combat participation in the war on the side of the occupation forces.
