Yan Igorevich Petrovsky (Russian: Ян Игоревич Петровский, born 1987), also known by his nom de guerre "Slavyan" (Russian: Славян, lit.'Slav') and his new legal name Voislav Torden (Russian: Воислав Торден), is a Russian Neo-nazi and militant, known as one of the leaders of the Rusich Group paramilitary unit.
Yan Petrovsky is presumably designated as the commander of the Zimargl detachment of the Rusich Group, "one of the special separate units formed for operational and reconnaissance tasks on the territory of Ukraine".[1] According to the US Department of the Treasury, in 2022 he took over as commander of the Group after the leader Alexey Milchakov was wounded near Kharkiv.[2]
