Margarita Simonyan shares photo without hair amid cancer battle
The year 2025 has been truly difficult for Margarita Simonyan. After the death of her husband Tigran Keosayan, the journalist found out she had breast cancer. She underwent surgery, went through a long course of chemotherapy, and complained that the disease had worsened her skin condition and caused her hair to fall out. She had been going on air wearing wigs that closely resembled her real hair, but now she has decided to show how she really looks.
«Don»t be afraid of anything. God exists, and there is no death,« she captioned the photo.
Within just a few minutes of the post, Simonyan«s fans wrote hundreds of comments expressing support and wishing her a recovery.
«Margarita, you are a beauty. Any hairstyle suits you,» wrote a follower under the nickname Lana.
«Hair is not arms or legs — it will grow back even more beautiful,» Anastasia commented in support.
Margarita often shares openly with her channel«s subscribers. It was to them that she first told about her illness and all the difficulties in her family. A year ago in January, Margarita also shared the news that her husband Tigran Keosayan had experienced clinical death and fell into a coma, and after that she reported on her husband»s condition. For nine months, the head of RT stayed by his side and, due to constant worries and thoughts of the worst, as she herself says, «grew cancer in herself.»
«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 in a flash,« Margarita wrote in her blog.
After her husband«s death in September 2025, Simonyan is raising three minor children alone, helps her mother and mother-in-law, and continues her husband»s initiative by hosting the program «Ch.T.D.» (16+).
