It is unusual for messages discordant with the regime of Vladimir Putin to come to light in the Russian media. Perhaps that is why, when they happen, they go around the world. This is the case of the irruption in full direct of the Russian television evening news ‘Channel One’ of a journalist with a banner that read: “Stop the war. Do not believe propaganda, they are lying to you.”
The woman, Marina Ovsyannikova, also shouted live: “Stop the war! No war!” A few words after which she has been arrested for discrediting the Russian forces. Ovsyannikova stated earlier in a message that “what is happening in Ukraine is a crime and Russia is the aggressor.” “The responsibility for this aggression falls on one man: Putin. My father is Ukrainian, my mother is Russian, and they were never enemies.s,” he added.
The woman had previously posted a video on social media in which she explained why she disagreed with the Putin government. “Unfortunately, over the last few years I have worked for ‘Channel One’. I have made Kremlin propaganda and I am very embarrassed about itfor allowing people to lie from television screens and for the Russian people to be zombified,” Ovsyannikova explained.
In the video he explained that his father is Ukrainian, in addition to encouraging the population to rebel against Putin and denounce the war absolutely. What’s more, the journalist, who did editing work on ‘Channel One’, acknowledges in the video that they didn’t say anything in 2014, when it all started. “We did not protest when the Kremlin poisoned Navalny. We just silently watched this inhuman regime. Now the whole world has turned away from us and ten generations of our descendants,” he added in the video, posted before his spontaneous interruption.
However, this protest has been censored in other media. One more example of the fear of the consequences of showing conflicting positions with the Putin regime. This is how it was shown:
