Vladimir Aleksandrovich Kuznetsov (Russian: Владимир Александрович Кузнецов, or Krasnov, nicknamed Vovan222, born 11 November 1986)[1] and Aleksei Vladimirovich Stolyarov (born 16 September 1987),[2] jointly known as Vovan and Lexus, are Russian comedians noted for their prank telephone calls to prominent individuals.
The duo often prank those who are critical of the Russian government or Russian foreign policy, particularly non-Russians; they have been called state actors for the Russian government or the Federal Security Service (FSB), Russia's principal security agency, a claim the comedians deny.
