Roman Albertovich Abalin (Russian: Роман Альбертович Абалин, born 24 January 1998), better known by his screen name NFKRZ[2][3][4][5][6] (pronounced "No fuckers"), is an English-speaking Russian YouTuber who is known for his commentary on topics such as food, vlogs, and Russian politics among others. As a dissident and outspoken critic of Russian politics, he is sometimes compared to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.[5][7]
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Roman left Russia,[8][6][9] and moved to Tbilisi, Georgia in March 2022.[10] Two years later, in March 2024, he received a visa from the European Union and settled in Lisbon, Portugal. After a year-long wait and a lengthy legal process, Abalin announced in March 2025 that he had finally received a Portuguese Residence Permit, and had therefore become a resident of the European Union.[11][non-primary source needed]
Abalin is also a musician, and releases self-penned lo-fi hip-hop music on SoundCloud under the pseudonym romaskosmodroma.
