A resident of Ukhta, hairdresser. In 2025, she ran for deputy to the Komi State Council from the CPRF and came second in the district, behind the United Russia candidate.

A few days after the election, on 19 September, she was detained in a case of justifying terrorism on the Internet because of a repost and a comment. According to the Barents Observer, in the first case Bagirova shared a publication of the Telegram channel "Kolokol XXI" about the successful counter-offensive of the AFU in 2022. The expert found calls for murder in a phrase from the publication: "The average pro-russian supporter has thousands of epiphanies: Strelkov was right, the Kremlin is full of traitors, Shoigu should be hanged, the political leadership should be changed. The second episode is related to Bagirova's comment on the news about Ukrainian drones attacking Russian military airfields: "Epic! As a Russian woman admired! Glory to Ukraine."

After her arrest, Bagirova was taken into custody.

On 16 March 2026, Baghirova was sentenced to six years in a general regime colony.
