Simonyan spoke about the crucial examination after cancer treatment

Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Rossiya Segodnya international media group and RT TV channel, announced on September 8 that she had completely defeated breast cancer. "Thank the Lord, thank you to everyone who prayed. Thanks everyone. Thank God, everything is clear," she said in a video posted on her Telegram channel. According to doctors, Simonyan's latest computed tomography (CT) scan did not reveal any signs or foci of cancer. The journalist expressed her deep gratitude to everyone who provided her with moral support and prayed for her recovery throughout the entire period of struggle with the disease. Last year, Simonyan announced that she was undergoing cancer treatment. She added that she would soon be seen "wearing wigs." In February 2026, the journalist said that she continues to undergo radiation and chemotherapy during cancer treatment.
