Hero Producer On Russian Newscast Arrested For Holding Up "Anti-War" Sign

A Russian news producer at Channel One, the official state news channel in Russia, stormed onto the set with an anti-war sign during a live broadcast. Protester Marina Ovsyannikova has been arrested by Russian authorities on charges of "discrediting the armed forces".

The Russians have banned all independent news organizations. So her sign that said, "NO WAR. Stop the war. Don't believe propaganda. They are lying to you here." was a contradiction to the claim that they are in special military operation rooting out Nazis.

In an earlier video, a woman who is believed to be Marina Ovsyannikova, says she was ashamed of pushing propoganda from the government. She tells us that her father is Ukrainian and her mother Russian.

"What is happening now in Ukraine is a crime, and Russia is the aggressor country. The responsibility for that aggression lies on the conscience of only one man, and that man is Vladimir Putin," Marina said. She went on to encourage the Russian people to protest the war.

This woman is incredibly brave. People who've done less than what she's done have completely disappeared after being arrested. Or poisoned.
