RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan does not hide her diagnosis from fans and subscribers. In 2025, a Russian journalist was diagnosed with breast cancer, followed by surgery and chemotherapy.

But despite all the hardships of life, 45-year-old Margarita Simonova does not leave her job and participates in events.

In a recent publication, Simonyan also shared with fans a photo of herself without a wig and with her hair cut after a course of chemotherapy.

"Don't be afraid of anything. There is a God, but there is no death," she wrote.

EADaily also previously reported that Simonyan received the title of "honorary citizen" of one of the millionaires of Russia.
