Rositsa Georgieva

She is a citizen of Bulgaria and resident of the Volgograd region. Georgieva was charged with justification of terrorism for the comments she posted in March and November 2024 under a post about the activities of the Russian Volunteer Corps, which fights on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The content of Georgieva’s comments is unknown. On 9 September 2025, the court sentenced her to three years in a general regime penal colony.

It is unknown when exactly the criminal case was initiated against Georgieva, but in December 2024 she was subjected to “carousel arrests”: she was arrested twice in a row in administrative cases of disobedience to the police and petty hooliganism. On 9 December, she was arrested for 13 days under the first article; on 21 December, she was arrested for another 10 days under the second one.
