Marina Ovsyannikova (Russian: Марина Овсянникова; née Tkachuk)[1] is a Russian TV producer who was employed on the Channel One Russia TV channel.

Early life and career

Her mother is Russian and her father is Ukrainian.[2] Ovsyannikova graduated from the Kuban State University and later from the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration. She worked for the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company. In 2002, she gave an interview to the Yuga.ru news site.[1]

Anti-war protest

Before broadcast was shut down.

On 14 March 2022, during an evening news broadcast related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine she appeared behind the news anchor, Ekaterina Andreeva, carrying a poster saying "(In English) No war. (In Russian) Stop the war. Don't believe the propaganda. Here they are lying to you. (In English) Russians against war". The broadcast was stopped, and Ovsyannikova was detained by the police. The recording was not available for download, which is uncommon for this TV channel.[3][4][5] She also posted a pre-recorded video on Telegram saying she was "ashamed of working for Kremlin propaganda":[6][7][8]

“What is happening in Ukraine is a crime. Russia is an aggressor country and the responsibility for this aggression rests on the conscience of only one person. That person is Vladimir Putin. My father is Ukrainian, my mother is Russian, and they’ve never been enemies. This necklace I’m wearing is a symbol of that fact that Russia must immediately end this fratricidal war. And our fraternal peoples will still be able to make peace. Unfortunately, I’ve spent the last few years working for Channel One, making Kremlin propaganda, and I’m very ashamed of this. Ashamed that I allowed lies to be broadcast from TV screens. Ashamed that I allowed others to zombify Russian people. We were silent in 2014 when all this started. We didn’t protest when the Kremlin poisoned Navalny. We just silently watched this inhuman regime at work. And now the whole world has turned its back on us. And the next 10 generations won’t wash away the stain of this fratricidal war. We Russians are thinking and intelligent people. It’s in our power alone to stop all this madness. Go protest. Don’t be afraid of anything. They can’t lock us all away.”[8]
