Kirill Sergeyevich Stremousov (Russian: Кирилл Сергеевич Стремоусов, IPA: [strʲɪmɐˈusəf], Ukrainian: Кирило Сергійович Стремоусов, romanizedKyrylo Serhiyovych Stremousov; 26 December 1976 – 9 November 2022) was a Ukrainian-born blogger and politician who served as the deputy head of the Kherson military–civilian administration in Russian-occupied Ukraine from 26 April 2022 until his death on 9 November 2022,[1] just before Russia ordered a retreat from Kherson.[2]

Prior to the war, Stremousov was a prolific blogger, known in fringe Ukrainian political circles for his promotion of conspiracy theories in support of Russian nationalism and against COVID-19 restrictions.[3] He was also known for his involvement in numerous violent incidents, variously as the victim or the perpetrator.[4]
