Blogger Alexandra Mitroshina's lawyer and tax attorney were given four years in a penal colony each. They had promised, for money, to remove her from "black lists"

Lawyer Alisa Volkhova and tax attorney Olga Goltseva, who had previously been under house arrest, were taken into custody in the courtroom. The court also recovered about 41 million rubles from both of them in Mitroshina's favor, granting her lawsuits.

Volkhova and Goltseva represented Mitroshina's interests in her tax evasion case. They offered the blogger to strike her name from the nonexistent "black lists of the presidential administration," and also to arrange foreign citizenship.

The case against Alexandra Mitroshina (also known on social media as the "Mother of Blogging") had been under investigation since 2023. According to investigators, she laundered more than 127 million rubles obtained through tax evasion by buying real estate in Moscow. In June 2026, she was given a three-year suspended sentence.
