The sensational protest on Russian TV
He’ll get away with a fine Marina Ovsyannikova, the famous Russian public TV journalist who contested the war in Ukraine by displaying a cartel against Putin.
A courageous and sensational gesture, especially in a country where the freedom of the press it has always been very relative and the recent law against “fake news” is a real gag for journalists. This is why her arrest had aroused strong international mobilization and the attention on her case, in all probability, avoided worse consequences.
Questioned for 14 hours, without the possibility of contacting relatives and lawyers Ovsyannikova, who recalled having a Ukrainian father and a Russian mother, adding that she is “ashamed” of having worked for Russian TV in recent years “by carrying out Kremlin propaganda, allowing people to lie on TV screens and turning the Russian people into zombies.”
And to say that Putin had chosen her as his favorite interviewer, perhaps also because of its indisputable charm, very evident in our photogallery.
