On 26 January, Margarita Simonian, chief editor of the Russian media holding RT, posted a hairless photo on her Telegram channel. She had previously announced a cancer diagnosis in December 2025 and said she was undergoing chemotherapy. The image shows her bald head, implying chemotherapy‑induced hair loss. She added a message encouraging courage and faith. Simonian has earlier discussed her treatment and health issues publicly, including a near‑death experience and the death of her husband, Tigran Keosayan, in September 2025. The post is a personal health update rather than a political statement.
