Marina Ovsiannikova
Marina Ovsiannikova is a Russian journalist who gained international attention for her brave protest against the war in Ukraine. In October 2022, she interrupted a live broadcast on Russian state television with a sign denouncing the conflict, an act that led to her facing significant legal challenges, including the threat of imprisonment. Reporters Without Borders previously facilitated her escape from Russia to safeguard her from government reprisals, similar to their recent assistance to Ekaterina Barabach.
