The Bravest Woman in Russia. “They’re Lying to You.”
This is pretty amazing.
An editor for the fake news in Russia has “pulled an Ivory.” 👏🏼👏🏼

ABC.Net reports: Protester Marina Ovsyannikova has been arrested after denouncing the war on live Russian television. The protester released a video urging other Russians to come out and protest
The sign, in English and Russian, read: “NO WAR. Stop the war. Don’t believe propaganda. They are lying to you here.”
Another phrase, which looked like “Russians against war”, was partly obscured.
“Stop the war. No to war,” the woman protester could be heard shouting, as the news anchor continued to read from her teleprompter.
The protester could be seen and heard for several seconds before the channel switched to a different report to remove her from the screen.
The woman was named by OVD-Info, an independent protest-monitoring group, and by the head of the Agora human rights group, as Marina Ovsyannikova, a journalist who works for the channel.
Pavel Chikov, head of Agora, said she had been arrested and taken to a Moscow police station.
Tass said Ms Ovsyannikova might face charges under a law against discrediting the armed forces, citing a law enforcement source.
In a video recorded before the incident and posted online, a woman who appeared to be Ms Ovsyannikova described herself as a Channel One employee and said she was ashamed to have worked for years spreading Kremlin propaganda.
This takes guts. People are now attempting to locate her but are not having any success as of yet. Pray for her.
