The payment is brightened up: the Federal Tax Service has reduced the requirements for Mitroshina by almost 10 times
The amount of the tax inspectorate's claims against blogger Alexandra Mitroshina now amounts to just over 25 million rubles, Izvestia found out. Although back in early October, the Federal Tax Service called the amount at 211 million. She changed after the tax authorities checked (her act was at the disposal of the publication). It turned out that Mitroshina had adjusted her tax return many times, and once again included in her income amounts that should not be taxed. The blogger is currently under house arrest in the case of money laundering. Mitroshina and her husband blame their former lawyer Alisa Volkhova and lawyer Olga Goltseva for the family's troubles — a criminal case was opened against them on October 21 for embezzlement of tens of millions of rubles from their client.
How many taxes does Mitroshina still have to pay?
Blogger Alexandra Mitroshina has only 25 million rubles left to pay the state. Izvestia came to this conclusion after reviewing the act of the last tax audit of her declarations. These data differ from information previously released by the Moscow tax Inspectorate No. 33. In early October, it appealed to the Moscow Arbitration Court, demanding that the blogger be declared bankrupt, and according to its statement, Mitroshina owed the state 211 million rubles.
At the same time, according to Izvestia, by the beginning of 2025, the blogger had already paid 666 million rubles in taxes.
In 2023, a case was opened against her — according to investigators, Mitroshina evaded paying 127 million rubles in taxes. It was found that from October 2020 to May 2022, the blogger used the simplified taxation system for individual entrepreneurs and exceeded the limit of 150 million rubles. But in order not to switch to a common taxation system, Mitroshina transferred funds to three affiliated sole proprietors, that is, she split up the business.
A month and a half later, Mitroshina announced that she had paid off all debts owed to the Federal Tax Service. She admitted her guilt and noted that she had made a mistake by not paying due attention to her accounting. But then a new case was opened against the millionaire blogger - about money laundering and money laundering. In addition, new tax arrears were found.
Alexandra Mitroshina was detained in March 2025 at Sochi airport upon arrival from Dubai. Mitroshina fully admitted her guilt. She is under house arrest, and the court has restricted her use of the Internet and mobile communications.
Izvestia has reviewed the tax audit report dated mid-October 2025. According to him, the amount of unpaid taxes of the blogger at that time already amounted to 141 million rubles, but "the taxpayer incorrectly reflected the income." Thus, Mitroshina's income from entrepreneurial activity "included transactions that were not income": money transfers to herself, short-term deposit operations, refunds of funds spent. When recalculated, the amount of arrears amounted to just over 25 million rubles.
And on October 8, 2025, the Arbitration Court left without motion the application of the tax inspectorate No. 33 to declare the blogger bankrupt. The application did not meet the requirements, the court ruling says. There was no information in it about the creditor depositing funds into the deposit of the arbitration court for the payment of remuneration to the financial manager. This is required by the federal law on insolvency (bankruptcy). Now the applicant, i.e. the tax inspectorate, must eliminate this violation.
Mitroshina could have made mistakes under the influence of lawyers
The situation with multiple adjustments to the blogger's tax returns has developed, in particular, because of her former lawyers. On October 21, 2025, investigators opened a criminal case against lawyer Alisa Volkhova and lawyer Olga Goltseva, suspected of embezzling tens of millions of rubles from their client, Mitroshina.
According to the investigation, Volkhova, using a trusting relationship with the blogger, organized a scheme to steal her money from 2023 to 2024. According to this version, the lawyer and her accomplices systematically misled Mitroshina, convincing her of the need to transfer large sums to solve non-existent problems. For example, she promised to resolve issues with employees of the Federal Tax Service, allegedly in connection with Mitroshina's tax audit.
The total amount of damage caused by Mitroshina's suspects is at least 41 million rubles: 10.5 million rubles were transferred by the blogger to the account of IP Volkhova under the guise of paying mediation, which was not conducted; 9.5 million rubles were transferred to the account of ANO Dobro Sport Development Center, controlled by Volkhova; and 21 million rubles under the guise of a charitable donation — to the account of the Charity Foundation "Sodruzhestvo", also controlled by the lawyer.
According to Mitroshina's testimony, a number of false pretexts were used to pressure her — statements about the blocking of accounts and the need to urgently withdraw assets in order to "save" them. Volkhova threatened Mitroshina with imminent bankruptcy. The lawyer also promised to help in obtaining Vanuatu citizenship, which allegedly required serious investments.
In an appeal to law enforcement agencies, Mitroshina stated that she trusted Volkhova, who represented her interests during the tax audit and in the criminal case of their non-payment. This is what allowed the lawyer, according to investigators, to manipulate the blogger and offer solutions for monetary rewards.
Alexandra Mitroshina's husband Timur Koshkarov told Izvestia that the couple suspected the lawyers of cheating when they refused to return the money that the blogger allegedly deposited under the pretext of illegally blocking all accounts from the tax service.
"The consultant and the lawyer constantly told Sasha that she was being hunted by the tax and law enforcement agencies in Russia," he said. — Sasha was afraid to come to her native country, because she was told that she would immediately be arrested and convicted. But in fact, this happened, only Sasha was arrested not because she was on some kind of blacklist, but because of the "activities" of consultants.
According to him, his wife told about the threats from the lawyer at the end of the summer of 2024.
"We met with lawyer Volkhova and lawyer Goltseva in Dubai in September after we decided to separate from them and sent the relevant documents,— Timur Koshkarov explained. — At the first meeting, they tried to behave respectfully, but it was clear that they were worried and unhappy. They said that it was impossible to complete the work, because Sasha would have big problems with the tax service and law enforcement because of this.
Another meeting took place in December 2024: the lawyer and the lawyer showed documents allegedly from the tax service, where Mitroshina's income was 2.3 times more than the actual amount.
"They threatened problems," he said. — And they hinted that the issue could be resolved only through them. At this meeting, they started being rude to me, they were clearly not satisfied with my participation in the negotiations. I think that when Sasha was detained, the media reported that I was in charge of Sasha's business. They were also present at the first meeting for some reason, when Sasha was detained, I personally saw that they were giving out negative comments.
A criminal case has been opened under the article on fraud committed by a group of persons by prior agreement on an especially large scale.
What will be affected by the recalculation of tax arrears?
Alexandra Mitroshina's current lawyer, Peter Rybakov, managing partner of MOORE Law Firm, could not confirm to Izvestia the data on the total amount of the claims.
"All necessary documents and explanations are provided to the tax authorities as soon as the relevant requirements arise," he assured.
The error in naming the amount owed by blogger Mitroshina to the state occurred due to incorrect calculation of the tax base, said Irina Kuznetsova, head of the audit and consulting company Justicom.
— In fact, there was a doubling of part of the amount in the calculations, — she said.
According to lawyer and human rights activist Ekaterina Alexandrovich, sometimes the tax authorities declare the maximum amount, counting on the negotiation field, and after the audit, only a confirmed claim remains.
"Bankruptcy proceedings provide additional tools to influence assets and accelerate debt collection," she said. — In bankruptcy proceedings, tax claims have a chance of priority in the allocation of funds. Plus, it puts pressure on the debtor. The process restricts transactions and reputation, which can spur a settlement agreement.
In addition, the tax service may seek to consolidate claims before the possible withdrawal of assets during the investigation.
"Thus, leaving the application without movement and reducing the requirements is the result of a procedural review and acceptance of finalizing the claims," she added. — The tax service used the bankruptcy procedure as a tool to protect the budget and put pressure on the debtor, but this does not solve the issues of criminal liability in itself.
Reducing the requirements to 25 million rubles actually provides for the possibility of reaching agreements — by analogy with the process of 2023, when the blogger paid off the tax debt in the amount of 127 million rubles, Irina Kuznetsova added.
— Probably, the current situation will be resolved by another repayment of tax arrears before the trial in a criminal case opened in March, — the expert believes.
But it is possible that the amount of claims will increase due to the revision of the obligations of 2024. As a result, at least one more trial may be opened against the blogger, experts believe.
