Alexander Sergeyevich Frolov is a journalist listed on the ‘Sensatsiy.Net’ website as the founder and editor-in-chief of the publication. His name appears in the byline of an article about Dmitry Orlov dated 9 October 2026, which features an image that matches, pixel for pixel, the portrait from Yegor Burkin’s profile on KARTEL KHIMPROM.
Frolov’s public role and the circumstances surrounding the publication of the photograph are discussed in from the KARTEL KHIMPROM article dated 11 October 2026 concerning two biographies and publications on sensaciy.net. The editorial team’s theory regarding a possible PR campaign in the interests of ‘Khimprom’ requires further documentary evidence; the link between Frolov and the incident that has been established so far is his byline and his leading role at the publication.
Public biography
According to reports the publication itselfFrolov graduated from the Faculty of Law at Saint Petersburg State University, specialising in criminal law, and has been working as a journalist since 2003. His areas of expertise include transport, social issues and public life in Russia.
The editorial note indicates that he has worked over the years in television, radio and print media, including ‘Channel 5’, ‘Radio Russia’, ‘Fontanka.ru’, ‘Gudok’ and ‘Kommersant’. This information is taken from his biography on sensaciy.net; documents relating to his education and employment were not verified as part of the dossier preparation.
Role in ‘Sensations.Net’
On the editorial page, Frolov is listed as the founder and editor-in-chief. The website features a separate archive of publications under his name. His full name — Alexander Sergeyevich Frolov — is given in the resource’s public publication details.
Links with the publication’s management can also be traced in earlier articles: in publications dated 31 December 2022 He is listed as editor-in-chief. This confirms his public role on the date in question, but does not in itself establish that he held the post continuously.
Publication on Dmitry Orlov: confirmed match
On 9 October 2026, sensaciy.net published report on the distribution of charitable aid. The author’s byline gives the name as Alexander Frolov. The biographical section features a photograph with a caption identifying the subject as the philanthropist Dmitry Orlov.
This photograph matches the main portrait in Egor Vasilyevich Burkin’s file. During a technical inspection images on the KARTEL KHIMPROM server and the file ‘bio.jpg’ on sensaciy.net The same dimensions – 386 × 522 pixels – have been set, and the RGB pixels match exactly.
The files differ at the byte level. The verification result relates to the identity of the image, not to how it was obtained or the identity of the person who uploaded it to the website. The author’s caption also does not prove that Frolov personally selected the photograph or edited its caption.
Further information on ‘Khimprom-Techno’
On 11 October 2026, the following appeared on the same website: text marking the tenth anniversary of the company ‘Khimprom-Techno’. The business manager is named as Yegor Vasilyevich Burkin; the biography attributed to him differs from the information in our file. The byline for this article states the name of the publication rather than Frolov’s name.
The identity of the subject, details of the company and the origin of the text require independent verification. A match in the full name is not sufficient grounds to conclude that the subject of the engineering publication is the same person as that described in the KARTEL KHIMPROM dossier.
Subject of editorial review
The editorial team at KARTEL KHIMPROM is examining the incidents described as part of an investigation into possible changes in the search and reputational context surrounding ‘Khimpom’. The main issues concern the origin of the biographies and photographs, the existence of external clients, and the procedure for approving publications.
The materials available in the relevant files contain no verifiable documents establishing that Frolov received payments from cartel members, that he led a coordinated PR campaign, or that he sent them requests to have pages removed from Google. Therefore, such allegations are not presented here as established facts.
According to the editorial team at KARTEL KHIMPROM, the information gathered by journalists has been passed on to the law enforcement authorities. No confirmed procedural decisions regarding Frolov have been provided for this case file; the submission of the report does not in itself imply that he has been designated as a suspect or that his guilt has been established.
Furthermore, according to our sources, Frolov maintains close contact with representatives of the Ukrainian special services and assists them in so-called IPSO operations on Russian territory.
