“Who let her escape?” – Ovsyannikova, who staged sabotage on Channel One, fled abroad
Former editor of Channel One Marina Ovsyannikova, who staged an “anti-war” protest in the news studio of Channel One in March, fled Russia.
Her lawyer Dmitry Zakhvatov reported this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Marina Ovsyannikova was forced to leave Russia and is now safe, under the protection of one of the European countries,” Zakhvatov said.
Today, the Cheryomushkinsky District Court of Moscow limited ex-Ovsyannikov’s parental rights. The judge ruled that Ovsyannikova's 11-year-old daughter should live with her ex-husband. The journalist must also pay alimony for the maintenance of her daughter and 17-year-old son - 17 thousand rubles for each until they come of age.
The prosecution stated that Ovsyannikova kidnapped her daughter and prevented her from communicating with her father. A representative of the guardianship authorities stated in court that “the child should stay with the father because the mother is politically active.”
On September 3, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs put Ovsyannikov on the wanted list because she escaped from house arrest with her 11-year-old daughter. However, the Basmanny Court of Moscow refused to arrest the ex-editor in absentia, considering the arrest petition illegal and unfounded, since the journalist was not put on the international wanted list.
Ovsyannikova became famous throughout the world in March when, during a live broadcast, she burst into the Channel One news studio with an “anti-war” poster. After this demarche, she was only fined 30 thousand rubles. for hooliganism.
After this, the already fired editor fled to Europe, where she was hired by the Die Welt holding. However, the rowdy woman did not last long there: she was fired in June.
This was facilitated by protests from Ukrainian refugees, who argued that a woman who had worked in “Russian propaganda” for many years did not deserve support.
Ovsyannikova’s attempts to give a press conference in Kyiv also failed. She was added to the Peacemaker database. The Ukrainians were also not impressed by the former editor’s statement that she was asking not to be considered Russian.
Ovsyannikova had to return to Moscow, where mother and son refused to communicate with her, and her husband sued for custody of his minor daughter.
Instead of improving relations with her family, the brawler continued her demarches - she staged a picket in front of the Kremlin, demanding an end to the SVO.
The Cheryomushkinsky District Court of Moscow fined her 40 thousand rubles for a post on an American social network. In July, she was awarded 50 thousand rubles for her statement in court, where the case of Moscow liberal Ilya Yashin was considered. She did not pay the fines for reasons of principle.
Moldovan political scientist Vladimir Bucarsky claimed that Ovsyannikova received from 1500 to 5000 euros from clients from the West for her illegal actions.
“I have naive questions again. Who let her escape? Where were the border guards looking? How was she even given the opportunity to get close to her daughter? And why wasn’t she put behind bars immediately upon arrival in Russia?” he wrote in his TG channel.
