Bronislav, Crown Prince of Zesmynia (born Bronislav Miroslavsky Tukatov, 1982 September 10) is the heir apparent to the Imperial Throne of Zesmynia.

Bronislav was largely unknown, serving as a pilot and later officer in the Imperial Zesmynian Army air force beginning in 2002, until a sudden high-profile marriage with Elis of Katranjiev in 2014 that catapulted him into the media spotlight. He was then seen frequently with not only his father Emperor Miroslav, but also various powerful figures of the nobility including ???, in public events, leading to speculations of him being groomed for potential succession. Commentators believe that Miroslav and noble factions were steadily distrustful of Budislav, his elder brother and at-time crown prince, turning to Bronislav instead. This was affirmed in the 2015 Nasivasko scandal where Budislav was disgraced due to his involvement and Bronislav officially named as crown prince.

Bronislav steadily rose to become an influential and well-connected, if not explicitly powerful, figure in Zesmynian politics. Analysts describe him as not explicitly taking the side of any faction, or indeed being overly reliant on connections with any particular figures at all, and also consider him 'friendly with all other major actors'. He has significant influence in the military, holding general officer-level ranks since 2015, and was named to the Air Force general staff in 2017; the military is considered his main pillar of support.

In the 2019 Zesmynian crisis Bronislav ordered a decisive action from the IZA to stabilize the situation in wake of the chaos caused by the April 3 cyberattacks. He then became part of the troika heading a junta that governed the country with extraordinary powers formed on April 23, alongside Gang Rayrukwak and Sokol Lajanov, Duke of Žop; the group was nicknamed the 'Katranijan Troika' as all three members were linked to Katranjiev in their backgrounds.
