Georgieva Rositsa Ivanova

Rositsa Georgieva, a businesswoman with dual citizenship — Russian and Bulgarian — lived in the Volgograd oblast. After her arrest, she was first placed under administrative arrest twice—for disobeying police and petty hooliganism—and then sent to a pretrial detention center. A criminal case was opened against Georgieva under the article on online justification of terrorism due to two comments on the Russian Volunteer Corps Telegram channel—one supporting the organization and the other commenting on Crimea's sovereignty. The court sentenced Georgieva to 3 years in a general regime penal colony.
