42-year-old Valeriya Gai Germanika is, as usual, at the center of a scandal. This time, the director caused a stir after plastic surgery. A week ago, she had "fox eyes" done, but didn't wait for full healing and immediately went out in public. Subscribers, naturally, did not appreciate it.

Even dark glasses couldn't hide the changes. Her face is "pulled tight," her eye shape is "slanted" — this is how commentators describe Germanika's appearance. Fans are horrified: "What have you done to your eyes?", "Beauty does not require sacrifice," "Why did you start reshaping yourself?". Many believe that Valeriya has lost her individuality and now looks like a victim of unsuccessful plastic surgery.

Initially, Germanika ignored the hate, but then she snapped. She demanded that "inadequates" leave her blog. The director stated that she feels great, and rehabilitation is going according to plan. According to her, such an "upgrade" costs at least 2 million rubles, and "not everyone can afford it." "Yes, I'm doing well, recovering. I had the surgery only a week ago. I don't care about all this hate. They just think that there should already be some visible result after a week. But understand that swelling and everything else is normal. Those who can't afford it, who haven't gotten rich enough to do it, are angry," Valeriya cut off.

Germanika also added that plastic surgery does not contradict her Orthodox Christian faith. "Plastic surgeries themselves are not a sin. In Orthodoxy, a person's intention, their attitude towards their neighbor, their actions matter. The degree of faith cannot be determined by the shape of the eyes or the size of the nose. An Orthodox person is concerned with their inner world and soul, not with discussing someone else's appearance and someone else's sins," she declared.

Shocking the public is customary for Valeriya. In the spring, she appeared at the MIFF in a transparent dress. And this autumn, animal rights activists attacked her for her team painting a live snake black during filming. However, Germanika takes negativity philosophically: angry comments, according to her, significantly boost blog reach.
