Actress Clara Novikova, who defeated breast cancer, sympathized with Margarita Simonyan.

On Friday, September 19, actress Klara Novikova, who defeated breast cancer, sympathized with Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Rossiya Segodnya international media group and RT, who underwent surgery to treat a serious illness.

"I had it all a long time ago. I understand Margarita, I understand what she will have to go through," Novikova said in an interview with The Voice portal.

The actress said that during her illness, she trusted the doctors in everything, even if they did not want to make any predictions.

"The professor who operated on me said, 'As soon as you can get up, go to the temple and light a big candle. I do not know how everything will turn out. But I know that discoveries are being made in medicine every day, and medicines are being invented that will prolong human life." That's what I live with," Klara Novikova shared.

Simonyan reported on her serious illness and upcoming surgery on September 7. On September 9, the media manager came out of anesthesia after surgery. She expressed gratitude to all those who were worried about her and stressed that she appreciated the support provided to her.
