TikTok star Valya Karnaval entered a prestigious Russian school without taking tests. The 23-year-old blogger, whose real name is Valentina Karnaukhova, joined the Financial University under the Russian Government, sparking anger among regular students.
This social media celebrity makes millions from ads. She enrolled in advertising and public relations, paying between 460 and 510 thousand rubles per course. Many wondered how a Rostov college graduate secured a spot at such a famous university in April. Actress Ekaterina Volkova, who graduated from the same school, asked officials about it.
The university explained that Karnaval used a transfer method from an unnamed foreign institution. They confirmed she transferred "on legal grounds." The TikToker will attend classes online through part-time studies. She must pay full tuition fees for her education there.
