Months after being fined for an on-air protest, Marina Ovsyannikova is fined 50,000 roubles for 'discrediting' the Russian army.
Former Russian TV journalist Marina Ovsyannikova has been fined 50,000 roubles after being found guilty of discrediting the country's armed forces in social media posts condemning Russia's actions in Ukraine.
The ruling was passed after a short hearing in a Moscow administrative court, during which the judge said the evidence confirmed Ovsyannikova's guilt and there was "no reason to doubt its authenticity". Ovsyannikova, who rejected the proceedings against her as "absurd", gained international attention in March after bursting into a studio of Russian state TV, her then employer, to denounce the Ukraine war during a live news bulletin.Thursday's hearing was related to subsequent social media posts in which she wrote that those responsible for Russia's actions in Ukraine would find themselves in the dock before an international tribunal.
