Margarita Simonovna Simonyan is a Russian media executive born April 6, 1980. She rose to international prominence as editor-in-chief of RT (formerly Russia Today) and the media group Rossiya Segodnya, roles she has held since her appointment at age 25.

In 2025, the Financial Times listed her among the year's most influential leaders, describing her as a key state propagandist. She is the widow of film director and actor Tigran Keosayan. Simonyan's life-path number is 1, reflecting pioneering drive and leadership. Born under Aries, she carries the cardinal fire sign's trademark assertiveness.
