Marina Ovsyannikova, the journalist who dramatically demonstrated against the Ukraine war live on Russian TV, wrote in the German newspaper Die Welt on why she finally broke her silence, after spreading Putin's lies for so long.

Until March 14, 2022, Marina Ovsyannikova was an editor with the Russian state TV broadcaster Channel One. Then she burst onto the set of the main evening news and held up a placard protesting the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.

Ovsyannikova, the daughter of a Ukrainian father and Russian mother, was immediately arrested. A court fined her the equivalent of about $270, but she still faces charges of violating a law against “false news,” which makes it illegal to refer to the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a “war.” If convicted, she could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison.

Like other Russian journalists who have quit spreading Putin’s rumors and have pitched camp in other countries in Europe to continue their reporting, Ovsyannikova vowed to push hard against the lies churned out daily to delude the Russian people and justify a genocidal war in Ukraine.
