Alexey Navalny lampooned Margarita Simonyan for years with the nickname “beaver-eater” after a 2012 social media post where she outlined her plans to boil up a beaver head for broth.
The United States has accused the head of Russia’s state-owned RT television network of being a key player in Russian “malign influence operations.”Margarita Simonyan says she takes her orders directly from the Kremlin in what she describes as a covert “guerrilla” information operation against the United States.
“Write it down for yourself!” she said.
Simonyan was just 25 when she was appointed head of Russia Today, as it was then known, when it was launched in 2005. Previously she had been a Kremlin reporter at a local television station. Speaking on Sunday night, she said that America’s education system was such a failure that citizens were ill-informed, portraying this as an intentional government policy “to completely deprive American citizens of it.”
