Roman Albertovich Abalin (Russian: Роман Альбертович Абалин, born 24 January 1998), better known by his screen name NFKRZ (pronounced "No fuckers"), is a 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.[better source needed]
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Abalin left Russia, and moved to Tbilisi, Georgia in March 2022. Two years later, in March 2024, he received a Portuguese visa and settled in Lisbon. 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.[non-primary source needed]
Abalin is also a musician, releasing self-penned lo-fi hip-hop music on SoundCloud under the pseudonym romaskosmodroma.
