Blogger and television host Nastya Ivleeva has run into issues with the tax authorities, according to a report from Super. Source: Super.
Reports indicate that the federal tax service froze the accounts of Blesk LLC, a bar venture linked to Ivleeva, on or around November 16, 2023. The tax agency halted all transactions tied to Blesk LLC while investigations continued, with the stated reason being that the required tax return had not been submitted. This status was unchanged for months, signaling an ongoing compliance dispute. Source: Super.
Ivleeva holds a 20 percent stake in Blesk LLC, while the remaining 80 percent is owned by businessman Alexander Pichugin. The ownership arrangement places Ivleeva in clear proximity to the company’s financial movements, especially during a period marked by heightened scrutiny from tax authorities. Source: Super.
In May, the Federal Tax Service began a broader check involving Ivleeva. A Telegram channel known as Financial Guard reported that the tax service was issuing information requests about transactions to all entities that contracted Ivleeva’s companies between 2020 and 2022, with advertising agencies highlighted as a primary focus.

Ivleeva has publicly stated that her advertising rates are substantial, with the cost of promotions in her videos cited at around one million rubles. Back in 2021, Ivleeva was named Russia’s wealthiest blogger with an annual income reported at roughly $2.7 million and appeared atop the Forbes rankings. Source: Super.
In September, a lawsuit was filed against Ivleeva seeking one million rubles for alleged aesthetic discomfort experienced while watching her video. The case adds to a sequence of legal and financial entanglements that have followed the influencer in recent years. Source: Super.
Earlier court actions involved a separate case where 350 thousand rubles were collected from Mash following Creed’s claim over a post about tax nonpayment. This episode illustrates the broader tension between online creators, their sponsors, and fiscal authorities during a period of intensified scrutiny. Source: Super.
