  Family name Непомнящий (*Nepomnyashchy* or however you spell it in English) is of course not one of the most common in Russia but it is definitely not one of the rarest.
  There are about 20 more or less promiment persons with this name on [Russian Wikipedia](https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9D%D0%B5%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BD%D1%8F%D1%89%D0%B8%D0%B9). So it is very unlikely that the person in Youtube video is somehow related to Ian Nepomnyashchy.
