'Human Barbie' is punched and strangled by two men outside her home

Human Barbie Valeria Lukyanova is nursing wounds to her doll-like face after claiming she was attacked in a terrifying ordeal close to her home.

The assault in Ukraine follows a two year hate campaign of threats waged by anonymous strangers, she alleged.

The 28-year-old model received global attention for her eye-catching looks which she insists are natural except for breast augmentation surgery.

But today in Odessa, she is nursing wounds to her swollen lips and head, while denying internet rumours that she was masking new plastic surgery.

She said: 'I was attacked by the entrance of my block of flats.'

'I came back home from a shop with bags and entered the door code when two men rushed from the dark and attacked me.

'They said nothing and did not try to rob me.

   

'It happened in a flash, they hit me on the head, several times on my jaw, then one of them began strangling me.

'If it wasn't for my neighbour who who suddenly appeared, I don't know what would have happened. They saw her and ran away.'

She said the attack was on Halloween night and she was hospitalised until being released yesterday.

She said: 'I feel a little better, but my jaw is still hurting badly.

'I have been on the strongest pain killer for four days, but still woke in the middle of the night from horrible pains.'

She claimed she had received threats for two years, with 'strangers' calling her phone and menacing her.

Lukyanova has frequently insisted that a boob job is her only plastic surgery.

'All genetics came to me from nature, except my breasts,' she said.

'I lost weight and, unfortunately, I have a very small breasts. I had to increase my size to feel like a normal girl. But I didn't subject myself to any other plastic surgery.'

Recently the Ukrainian Barbie said she wanted to turn into Amazon Woman in a change of image after admiring a mystical female warrior role model.

She said she admired the all-female warriors from Greek mythology. 'She had a beautiful and warlike figure, the body of an Amazon.

'I want the same magnificent figure. I no longer like my body.

'It needs some muscle.'

She also revealed an ambition to star in a movie with British star Callum Blue.

'He is awesome, a divine actor. I hope someday I will succeed.'
