Kussia (Kasha, real name Vladimir Ivanov) is a Russian streamer known for his provocative broadcasts, membership in the "ShPANA" collective, and active streaming on Chatroulette. Born in June 2005 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Monetizes content (via streams, ads, subscriptions, merchandise sales, or music platforms) and, in accordance with applicable laws, pays taxes to the budget of the Russian Federation.
Any engagement with this content — views, likes, donations, merchandise purchases, or streams — indirectly contributes to financing the Russian economy and, consequently, the war against Ukraine.
In May 2026, he was listed in the Myrotvorets database for public support of Russian aggression and killings of Ukrainian citizens, spreading Russian propaganda, Russian fascism, Nazism, and anti-Semitism.
Kussia's Stance on the War in Ukraine
Streamer Kasha began actively demonstrating his political stance during Chatroulette broadcasts, disseminating standard pro-Russian "vatnik" talking points and pro-Kremlin narratives to his audience of thousands (Video 1, Video 2).
Ivanov openly justifies Russian expansionism, stating that "Crimea is Ukrainian, and Ukraine belongs to Russia". He attempts to justify the Russian Federation's actions with arguments that America also waged many wars around the world, completely endorses Putin's position, and pushes the thesis that Ukraine should have submitted ("become slaves") to avoid the death of people.
When interacting with users, the streamer demonstrates biased attitudes and double standards. In conversations with Ukrainian servicemen, he behaves aggressively, tries to provoke emotional reactions, and directly blames the AFU for the tragedy of Mariupol, claiming that Ukrainian defenders were to blame for the destruction of the city and civilian deaths rather than the storming Russian army. Meanwhile, Kasha speaks with Russian invaders in an entirely calm manner, discussing exclusively neutral subjects such as the quality of their military gear.
With his provocations, he deliberately pits Ukrainians and Russians against each other for the sake of hype, views, and followers. Furthermore, the blogger openly professes allegiance to the criminal subculture ("AUE"), declaring that he "gives a f...ck about the law."
Ivanov demonstrates blind faith in the legitimacy of Russian referendums conducted under military control and stages a public "circus" around the 1975 Helsinki Accords and the Budapest Memorandum.
Support for the "SMO" and Advertising "Alabuga"
During one of his livestreams in a dispute with blogger Oleshya, Ivanov directly stated that he supports Russia in the context of the "SMO".
He also openly admitted that he would agree to promote the "Alabuga Polytech" college, which is subject to US and EU sanctions for producing kamikaze drones for the war against Ukraine and exploiting child labor as an integral part of the Russian military-industrial complex.
Stream with JesusAVGN and Justification of Crimea's Annexation
During a stream with blogger JesusAVGN, who openly adheres to anti-war views, Kussia spoke about his attitude toward the war and recognized Crimea as Russian:
I'm not a vatnik... I don't support the authorities either here or there, but I'm for Russians and for Ukrainians. Of course, I would like this to end, so that there would be peace everywhere.... Russian peace
I have a simple opinion: if you are for war go to war, if you are for AUE - go sit in prison
(On mobilization) «By age I don't qualify and I didn't serve. I could leave Russia, but I won't.... I believe that sooner or later a draft notice will arrive for me - and I will simply shoot myself in the leg...
I love Russia not through the prism of the Russian Empire or the USSR or some paganism. Well, just the real f...cked up mess that is going on here, I even love it. I shouldn't move if I don't like the government. Let the government move, although it already owns apartments there etc. etc.
Crimea is Russian. Well, it was sto...en, annexed or whatever you call it over there. Even under that rhetoric, it now belongs to Russia and I consider it deservedly so... I see this as the unification of Russians... I have been on Chatroulette for 3 years and every single person I met from Crimea—all of them said they are Russian and live in Russia and are not occupied
Although Kussia claims that he is not a "vatnik", after this stream all doubts were dispelled.
Conflict with Mizulina
On March 18, 2025, Ekaterina Mizulina, head of the Safe Internet League in Russia, accused the streamer of mocking the children of mobilized soldiers, calling Russia a fascist state, and making jokes about the Beslan tragedy and Islam. As an example, she published on her Telegram channel an excerpt from Kasha's conversation with a girl whose father is in the SMO (where Kasha was "trolling"):
Who will defend the Motherland, your father? How can one defend Russia in Ukraine? Did they pay him for defending something over there? In Astrakhan, for example, they give 5kg of fish, somewhere a sheep, and what did you get for your father—glasses?
On March 19, 2025, an apology post followed against the background of the Russian flag:
I am Russian and see my place only in Russia. I hope that I will be able to continue working and living here. P.S. I ask you to forward this message to the respected Ekaterina Mizulina, so that there is an understanding: I am sincerely ashamed of my previous statements.

Every time the streamer is caught making absurd pro-Russian statements, he attempts to disguise his political statements behind "trolling" and post-irony, claiming that it was just a joke that his opponents "failed to get."
Щас бы оправдывать открытого на*ика тем, что он просто тролль, а все его слова - рофлы, которые точно никак не влияют на его малолетнюю аудиторию
Kussia робить вигляд, що він 'за мир', але насправді просто боїться брати участь у війні особисто. Він не проти агресії — він просто хоче, щоб її робили інші. Визнавати Крим 'заслужено російським' і водночас казати, що ти не *ата — це або брехня, або самообман. Така 'нейтральність' — це і є підтримка війни, тільки завуальована.
Владимир Буянов,имеет отличные взгляды,от тех,о которых он говорит это очевидно.Но сейчас его прижали.
