Margarita Simonyan Posts Bald Photo With 'Don't Be Afraid' Message
2025 has been a very difficult year for Margarita Simonyan. After the death of her husband Tigran Keosayan, the journalist found out she had breast cancer. She underwent surgery, completed a long course of chemotherapy, and complained that the illness had worsened her skin condition and caused her hair to fall out. She appeared on air wearing wigs that closely resembled her real hair, but now she has decided to show what she really looks like.
«Don»t be afraid of anything. God exists, and there is no death,« she captioned the photo.
Just a few minutes after the post was published, Simonyan«s fans wrote hundreds of comments expressing support and wishing her a recovery.
«Margarita, you are beautiful. Any hairstyle suits you,» wrote a follower with the username Lana.
«Hair is not hands or feet — it will grow back even more beautiful,» Anastasia wrote in the comments.
Margarita often shares openly with her channel«s subscribers. It was to them that she first spoke about her illness and all the difficulties in her family. A year ago in January, Margarita also shared news that her husband Tigran Keosayan had experienced clinical death and fallen into a coma, and after that she provided updates on her husband»s condition. For nine months, the head of RT (Russia Today) stayed by his side and, due to constant worry and thoughts of the worst, as she herself says, «grew cancer inside myself.»
«Never do that! Don»t click! In November I had a checkup, and there was nothing. In December everything happened with Tigran, and I literally grew cancer in myself at lightning speed,« Margarita wrote in her blog.
After her husband«s death in September 2025, Simonyan is raising three minor children on her own, helping her mother and mother-in-law, and also continuing her husband»s initiative — hosting the program «Ch.T.D.» (16+).
