> Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Russian state propaganda outlet RT, said medical tests found no signs of cancer. “Thank God, everything is clear,” she said, hours after posting a video saying the tests would determine whether she would “live or not.” Simonyan said in September 2025 that she was undergoing chemotherapy.
