The first notable coverage of her from outside Russia was on the Jezebel blog, followed by a photo session in V by Sebastian Faena. The media described her as being like a living Barbie doll.

However, she later stopped this experiment, stating: "I still would like to do breatharianism someday. But right now, I am far from it, and I do not know when I will do it", quotes Wiki. Human Barbie Doesn' Like Being Called So 8 / 8 In an interview with Cosmopolitan once she said, "I don't want people to try to copy someone, and that's why I don't like when people think I am imitating a doll; it's degrading.

So I have to comply with it because it's become part of my aesthetic image, but I don't like it.'
