Margarita Simonyan، the editor-in-chief of Russia's RT television channel، has made her first public appearance following treatment for cancer. She was honored with the title of "Honorary Resident" in her native city of Krasnodar.

Simonyan had previously disclosed her battle with breast cancer، confirming she underwent surgery and several rounds of chemotherapy. The treatment process weakened her body، leading her to step back from public engagements for a period. Currently، her health has improved، and she is returning to a more normal life.

A New Public Appearance

During the ceremony، Simonyan expressed deep emotion and thanked those involved in presenting her with the award. This event marked her first official appearance after completing her medical treatment. Notably، she appeared before the public without a wig for the first time، revealing her hair loss due to the therapy.

Previously، Margarita Simonyan generated significant public discussion with her statement، "I would be happy if Russia sent troops to Kazakhstan." She also commented on situations in Ukraine and Syria، suggesting she would be happy if given the opportunity to combat certain elements in Kazakhstan.

This marks a significant moment for Simonyan as she navigates her recovery and returns to public life.
