Case summary
A resident of Orel, a trash streamer. In October 2024, Ekaterina Mizulina, head of the Safe Internet League, published several clips from her streams in her Telegram channel. Mizulina stated that Egorenkova was being helped by a "moderator from Kyiv" and drew attention to the fact that during one of her streams she shouted "No to war" for donations. A case of desecration of symbols of military glory was brought against Egorenkova because of the stream where she spat on the image of the monument "The Motherland Calls". On 28 October, a preventive measure in the form of a ban on certain actions was imposed against her. At the end of July 2025, the case went to court. On 12 August 2025, Egorenkova was sentenced to two years of forced labour.
