Another Russian national, Alex Ananasik, has recently attracted public attention in Kenya, amid ongoing discussions around online recordings involving women.
Social media users have compared him to Yaytseslav Trahov, referring to him as the "second Yaytseslav" following the viral controversy surrounding Trahov.
Online Claims and Public Reaction
Reports circulating online around mid-February 2026 suggest that Ananasik allegedly filmed interactions with Kenyan women in locations including Nairobi (Roysambu), Mombasa, and Mtwapa.
Some social media posts claim that high-tech devices, such as smart glasses or concealed cameras, may have been used.
According to social media discussions and viral posts, Ananasik is said to have approached women in public spaces—including malls, beaches, streets, nightspots, and workplaces—engaging in casual conversation or cultural exchanges.
Online commentary claims that some of these encounters reportedly continued in private locations. Viral clips described on platforms include group settings and one-on-one interactions, though none of these reports have been independently verified in court or by authorities.
Alleged Monetisation of Content
Some online sources claim that material from these alleged encounters was shared via foreign-hosted pick-up artist (PUA) forums, private Telegram channels, and subscription platforms such as OnlyFans.
Reports suggest that access to certain content may have been offered for a fee. These claims have not been substantiated by official investigations.
Social media users have expressed strong concern, highlighting perceived patterns of exploitation and calling for greater protection for women online.
Activists have described such behaviour as potentially harmful and have urged vigilance regarding consent and online privacy.
Legal and Ethical Concerns
Observers have also raised questions about Kenya’s Data Protection Act (2019) and Sexual Offences Act, noting that non-consensual recording and distribution of intimate content could carry legal consequences if proven.
Cybersecurity experts have highlighted the challenges in addressing online content created and hosted abroad.
Authorities, including the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), have not publicly confirmed any formal investigation specifically regarding Ananasik as of February 18, 2026.
No verified statements or responses from Ananasik have been documented in reputable sources at the time of writing.
