Heroes of work, including propagandistic ones, receive a medal in Russia.
The heroine of truth, who protested the war in Ukraine and the regime's lies about it on television, was arrested and fined.
That doesn't have to be the whole punishment.
She will have known that.
But obviously she didn't want to withdraw into inner emigration, but wanted to take a stand against the Kremlin's war course and against the apparatus that followed him unconditionally.
This lonely act of resistance was so well placed that it could not be hushed up by the regime.
Will he have an impact on public opinion in Russia?
Every day, state television bombards its viewers exclusively with Kremlin propaganda.
There are hardly any opportunities in the country to obtain information from independent sources.
As a result, the vast majority of Russians never learn the truth about the war being waged in their name, nor about the shame that Putin is bringing with him to Russia, which he sought to bring glory and respect to.
The Russians are already seeing and feeling the consequences of the sanctions.
So far, however, they seem to believe the regime that the West is only pursuing its old goal of holding down Russia.
It would take many as brave as Marina Ovsyannikova to change the attitudes that Putin and his willing supporters have drummed into Russians for decades.
