Polina Pushkareva / Polina Nioly / @nioly on IG
28-year-old russian walmart anna delvey-esque huckster x lillee jean-tier delusional fake celebrity, who claims that she is a self-made influencer, PR manager, model, actress, investor, genius, and philanthropist. she churns out dozens of posts a day talking about how she is totally famous and rich, bizarre financial advice and lifestyle content larping as a millionaire celebrity, does constant designer/bag outfit hauls of fake designer goods she passes off as real, and claiming she spends $30,000 per month. and YOU can learn how to do all of the above, too, by buying her $400 social media course! she is a scammer who basically fakes being this rich, and is extremely narcissistic and delusional.
polina is a major lolcow in russia with a really dense thread on baginya (some of my information is translated from the OP on there.) it's a shame her milk is mostly limited to the russian language, but there is a lot of milk and now she is trying to build an english speaking audience to swindle too.
>lies that she grew up in extreme poverty in saint petersburg until 2017, when she graduated university>posted a video "proving" she used to live in poverty by showing a tour of the apartment she lived in when she started her company, which is a totally normal eastern european affordable flatshare situation for students. many 20 year old students would have something similar, and polina was acting like it was some kind of extremely poor crackhouse and that she was soooo traumatized by having to share a bathroom and a kitchen with her flatmates>she went to university in saint petersburg and studied marketing and fundraising, graduating with an E (barely passed her studies) and a harsh review from her professor on her bachelor's thesis, which is available publicly on the university's website: "in the empirical study conducted, P. V. Pushkareva has no clearly defined goals, objects nor subjects of study. a sample of 5 people who are not involved in fundraising activity and do not have sufficient experience in marketing is not adequate." "the author does not have the skills of text editing […] the text contains misuse of paragraphs, as well as a large number of spelling and grammatical errors.">with this qualification and her parents' money, she moved to america, became the CEOPost too long.
