Attacked
In an interview with the Mail in 2014, Valeria detailed an instance where she was attacked. She told them, “I came back home from a shop with bags and entered the door code when two men rushed from the dark and attacked me. It happened in a flash; they hit me on the head, several times on my jaw, then one of them began strangling me.” Due to the bandages in her photo, rumors swirled that she was not attacked but had gone through plastic surgery.
Two Instagrams
With fans spanning across the globe, Valeria Lukyanova makes sure that all of the fans can follow her through social media. On Instagram, she holds two accounts to which she posts frequently. For her fans at home that can only read Cyrillic letters, she has an account in Ukrainian (she is from Ukraine). Her other account is in English so the rest of her fans can keep up with her daily happenings and newest photos. She maintains both accounts like her primary account.
Interracial Marriages Cause Plastic Surgery
Valeria explained in a GQ interview why she believes plastic surgery is so prevalent today. The majority of feelings come from a background in the USSR. In the Soviet Union in the 50s and 60s, intermarriage between cultures and races was uncommon. As it became more common, children of intermarried children tried to fix any imperfections. She gave an example of a Russian-Armenian girl having beautiful Russian features and a big Armenian nose and wanting a smaller nose.
