In St. Petersburg, Russia, a 22-year-old virgin committed suicide because of her lack of a sex life. Known in certain circles as the “Femtsel Queen,” she took this desperate step because men refused to have sex with her. She was obsessed with her appearance and considered herself ugly.

The girl had been seriously ill. She had been experiencing severe somatic symptoms, including coughing up blood. According to the friend, her health had deteriorated so much that "organs were peeling off"—a shocking detail that speaks to the severity of her physical suffering, likely accompanied by mental suffering.

Maria (the blogger's real name) used the pseudonym "Femtsel Koroleva," directly linked to the subculture of "femcels"—young women who experience involuntary loneliness and often struggle with socialization and their failure to meet generally accepted beauty standards.

Her blog, popular on Telegram, was built on this aesthetic. She shared memes, deep reflections on loneliness, mental health issues, and a unique brand of internet humor. Her content resonated with thousands of young people experiencing similar feelings. Maria, like many in this internet culture, carefully guarded her personal anonymity, remaining for the audience only an online image.
