On the air of the [Russian] Vremya program on Channel One, one of the employees staged a protest action. She stood behind TV presenter Ekaterina Andreeva and unfolded an anti-war poster with the call: “Stop the war, don’t believe the propaganda, they lie to you here.”
According to preliminary data, Marina Ovsyannikova, who worked as an editor, staged a protest on the air. She was taken to the Ostankino police station.
Marina Ovsyannikova also recorded a video message...
What is happening in Ukraine now is a crime, and Russia is an aggressor country and the responsibility for this aggression lies on the conscience of only one person, and this person is Vladimir Putin.My father is Ukrainian, my mother is Russian, and they have never been enemies. And this necklace around my neck is a symbol of the fact that Russia must immediately stop the fratricidal war and our fraternal peoples will still be able to reconcile.
Unfortunately, in recent years I have been working on Channel One, doing Kremlin propaganda, and I am now very ashamed of it.
I am ashamed that I was allowed to speak lies from the TV screens, I am ashamed that I was allowed to zombify the Russian people.
We kept silent in 2014, when all this was just beginning, we did not go to rallies when the Kremlin poisoned Navalny.
We just silently watched this anti-human regime and now the whole world has turned its back on us.
And ten more generations of our descendants will not be washed away from the shame of this fratricidal war.
We are Russian people, thinking and smart, it is only in our power to stop all this madness.
Come out to rallies, don't be afraid of anything, they can't jail us all.

That’s courage especially when she knew she’d end up in jail for this.
I should have noted, this is a google translation of the original article
Pray God this spreads. The best result is if the Russian people themselves stop this war.
Propaganda is being bantered around on both sides. For all I know, she is not aware of what is really happening in Ukraine.
LOL, I bet Angela got turned on more than Putin.
Just using the word “war” to refer to what is happening can get someone arrested in Russia.
She knows one thing, Russia invaded a Sovereign country.
Those ladies are surely being arrested for this.
This is more than ‘propaganda’. She’s putting her life on the line.
This is ABSOLUTELY REAL. And the KGB scumbag had to hide his megalomaniac stunt from his entire country. The Russian people dont want this war.
Merkel ain’t having none of that!
Really brave woman. Putin will have her killed.
This might be from when Nato was bombing sovereign Serbia or Libya. Or maybe it’s from when U.S invade sovereign Iraq. Lot of fake stuff about
Russians are being told that Ukraine tried to invade Russia.
Guess you thought Americans doing this on T.V in 2003 were heros too huh
What a wretched POS to always bash the US to defend your scumbag.
Why don’t you point out to us exactly what you think is fake about this.
And what about Navarro wanting Gabbard investigated obstensibly for treason. What’s your take on that seeing as you waffle on about the big bad Russkies ad nauseum
