Mariana Vishegirskaya
From WikiAlpha
Mariana Vishegirskaya is a Ukrainian blogger, who had been documenting the progress of her pregnancy, prior to the Russian attack on Ukraine, in 2022.[1]
In March 2022 reports emerged that Russia had targetted a maternity hospital, and that Podgurskaya was one of injured patients.[1] According to People magazine, prior to her pregnancy Podgurskaya's blog focussed on reviewing popular beauty products, and she had 75,000 followers.[2]
Russian authorities called her a "crisis actor", and tried to cast doubts on the credibility of her claim that she was injured in the attack.[1]
Podgurskaya successfully gave birth to a daughter at another hospital in Mariupol, two days after the attack.[2][3]
