Russian journalist Marina Ovsyannikova is one example of russian propaganda trying to create an image of “good Russians” who do not support Putin but do not oppose the war.
Having “lit up” almost all the speakers who had at least some credit of confidence in the West, russian propaganda is rapidly trying to create new agents of influence that will promote the narratives needed by the Kremlin. A striking example of such “systematic work” of russian propaganda was the journalist Marina Ovsyannikova, who with the help of paper and several markers became a dissident heroine,” the NSDC said.
The Center notes that Ovsyannikova has received a favourable image as a dissident for the West and has begun to “work out the task” of promoting a narrative on the need to lift sanctions on russia to the Western audience.
Also, the “former propagandist” is quite successful in promoting the thesis of the inadmissibility of russophobia and the prevention of collective responsibility of russians for Putin's actions. "
We are reminding, that the Human Rights Foundation recently addressed the rector of the Taras Shevchenko National University Volodymyr Bugrov with a request to facilitate the meetings of the Institute's students with Marina Ovsyannikova. The director of the Institute of Journalism stated that the institution would not hold such meetings with any “good” media outlet of the aggressor country, neither now nor after the victory.
In March, the editor of the propaganda TV channel appeared on the air and stood for a few seconds behind the host with a poster “No War.”
