Another Russian Journalist Quits State TV In Protest Over War, Says Her People Are Being “Zombified” By Kremlin Propaganda
23.03.2022 - 01:25 / deadline.com
“During these past years, our government tried to strangle independent media,” said a former correspondent at Russia’s state-run TV outlet, Channel One. Zhanna Agalakova, the outlet’s former Paris correspondent, confirmed she quit this month.
Channel One is the same outlet that saw a surprise, on-air protest last week when journalist Marina Ovsyannikova stood onscreen and unfurled a sigh that said, “no war” and “don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.”
Two other longtime journalists for rival network NTV, Lilia Gildeyeva and Vadim Glusker have also recently quit, reports the BBC.
Agalakova said today her motivations were much the same as Ovsyannikova’s.
“I left Channel One precisely because the war started,” Agalakova told reporters at a Paris news conference. “When I spoke to my bosses, I said I cannot do this work any more.”
According to Reuters, the journalist said the Russian population has been “zombified” by propaganda.
“We reached the point that, in the media, we only see one point of view, one story: from the Kremlin. And we only see one person: Our leader,” she said.

‘Novorossiya’ Offers Rare Perspective From the Russian Side of War in Eastern Ukraine
Lise Pedersen “Novorossiya” by Enrico Parenti and Luca Gennari, which had its world premiere this week at CPH:DOX, is a rare film that shows the ongoing conflict in Ukraine’s Eastern Donbas region from the Russian perspective.Gennari, an experienced cinematographer, was shocked at the way the war in the Luhansk and Donetsk region, where pro-Russian separatists have proclaimed the state of Novorossiya (literally “New Russia”), no longer received any media attention once the Maidan revolution was over.In 2017, he decided to head to the Donbas region with his camera to see what life was like there.The film follows the parallel stories of a handful of characters, ranging from a communist U.S. fighter from Texas to a young Ukrainian soldier, a captain in the separatist army who dreams of rebuilding the Soviet Union, an opera singer from the Donetsk opera house, two young men from a heavy metal band and two elderly women who live in a bunker.
