Before Barbie
So, let’s look at Valeria’s origins. Valeria Lukyanova was born in Moldovian SSR, which belonged to the Soviet Union, in 1985. At the tender age of 30-something, Valeria has certainly garnered much international attention in the media.
She moved from the place she was born to Ukraine. When there was the war, in 2014, between Russia and Ukraine, Valeria moved to Mexico to accelerate her modeling career forward as she didn’t want a life of war and angst.
