Russia's State TV Hit by Stream of Resignations After Ukraine Invasion

When Russian TV producer Marina Ovsyannikova crashed the set on Monday’s nightly news program, denouncing the war in Ukraine and propaganda around it, her protest highlighted a quiet but steady stream of resignations from Russia’s tightly controlled state-run TV.

Some of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s biggest cheerleaders on state-run TV have already faced sanctions, including Vladimir Solovyov who presents a talk show on Russia’s biggest channel Rossiya-1, and Margarita Simonyan who has accused anyone ashamed of being Russian at this point of not really being Russian.

Russia’s state-run channels are required to toe the Kremlin line, so who has quit in response to the war?
