Ukraine: Russian State TV Employee Fined For Live Anti-War Protest

Mar 16, 2022 | Pratirodh Bureau

Marina Ovsyannikova (standing behind the newsreader) spent the night in police custody and on Tuesday, Moscow's Ostankino District Court ordered Ovsyannikova to pay a fine of 30,000 rubles (about USD 270) on charges of organising unsanctioned actions for her call to take part in demonstrations against the war

A Russian state television employee who interrupted a live news programme by protesting against the war with Ukraine was ordered to pay a fine by a Russian court Tuesday. Marina Ovsyannikova, an employee of Russia’s state-run Channel One, walked into the studio during Monday’s evening news show with a poster saying “no war” and “Russians against the war.”

In a video recorded before her action, Ovsyannikova said that her father is Ukrainian and her mother is Russian. She said that “Russia is the aggressor country and one person, Vladimir Putin, solely bears responsibility for that aggression” and urged Russians to join anti-war protests.

Ovsyannikova spent the night in police custody and on Tuesday, Moscow’s Ostankino District Court ordered Ovsyannikova to pay a fine of 30,000 rubles (about USD 270) on charges of organising unsanctioned actions for her call to take part in demonstrations against the war.

The Investigative Committee, Russia’s top state investigative agency, is also conducting a probe against Ovsyannikova on charges of publicly spreading false information about the Russian military — new punitive legislation adopted a day after Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. If convicted of that charge, she could face up to 15 years in prison. Speaking in a video address early Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised Ovsyannikova for her courage.

Asked about Ovsyannikova’s action, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described her move as “hooliganism,” noting that interference with a live broadcast is a serious offense. The Russian government has made a sweeping effort to cut independent sources of information about the war, imposing blocks on the BBC Russian service, the U.S. government-funded Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, German broadcaster Deutsche Welle and Latvia-based website Meduza. Russia has also blocked Twitter and Facebook and outlawed Instagram as an “extremist.” (AP)
