Another “superhero” that our digital media world has discovered is the Russian journalist Marina Ovsyannikova with her protest on air against the war in Ukraine. Today is just like the premiere of “Titanic” – tears, snot, dithyrambs, melodramas, mothers with children cry with affection, poets write glorious verses in praise of the “self-sacrifice” of St. Marina the Great Martyr …
Only very big naive people can seriously believe in the melodramas about “15 years in prison” that “threatened” her, about how “her life was in danger”. I am ready to immediately bet with everyone that the legal consequences of this “heroism” will be an administrative fine, which will amount to several thousand levs (pocket money for this woman).
Second, this woman has been working for YEARS as an editor for the First Channel, which is one of the main propaganda machines for power and United Russia. Her husband works for Russia Today, the government’s other largest propaganda media. Absolutely everyone in Russia knows very well that these media are propaganda, that they are the Russian equivalent of CNN. Everyone who starts working there knows very well and consciously what is required of them. Being a state propagandist in Russia was one of the most lucrative professions, providing a very high standard and a number of privileges.
Marina herself has a very high standard of living, as can be seen from her social media profile – countless photos from trips to expensive destinations. And if you advance in the craft and reach the level of Margarita Simonyan and Vladimir Solovyov, then you can even dream of your own property in expensive European cities.
I know very well the mentality of the propagandists – it is the same everywhere – in the United States, Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria. These are extremely pragmatic, opportunistic, “evolutionarily adaptive” and unprincipled people, for whom personal success and prosperity stand above absolutely all values and morals.
Well, this is exactly the moment when, especially for me, the heroic halo of Marina the Great Martyr suddenly began to seem fake and artificial. So for years she worked as an outspoken propagandist for the “Putin regime”, but all this time she was disgusted by the “crimes of the Putin regime”.
Like the alcoholic he drank, but in disgust. And so did Marinka – she collected the fat checks to do Putin’s propaganda, but she did so with disgust and bitterness. As she traveled and toured the expensive boutiques of Paris and London, she was genuinely outraged by the “crimes of the Putin regime,” which regime sustained her, and for which she campaigned in return.
I will tell you what is the real motivation of the planetary heroine Saint Marina the Great Martyr. After the start of the war in Ukraine and the sanctions against Russia, the profession of propagandist of the Russian government has lost its career prospects. Most propagandists will probably be banned from traveling to Europe for years to come, and Marina will have to strip boutiques in London, Paris and Milan. Funding for propaganda will also be significantly reduced. The dream of a house on the coast of Como collapses.
The cunning and practical Marina decides to stay ahead of events. He made this “heroic act of resistance” on air, through which he became a world superstar. Thanks to him, she will now be able to emigrate to Europe with her husband and receive political asylum there. In addition to asylum, they will receive many good and lucrative professions, thanks to the popularity that Marina has gained. Putin’s propagandist changed clothes for one day and will now become a propagandist against Putin. Her income will still be high, she will visit the most expensive European boutiques again every week.
And the sheep will enjoy their fictional “hero” and will hate anyone who tries to take away this great joy of life and meaning, commented Tihomir Chergov on Facebook.
