The Russian journalist Marina Ovsyannikova has once again protested against the Russian war of annihilation against Ukraine.

Alone near the Kremlin, a placard appeared that read: "Putin is a murderer" and "His soldiers are fascists".

Marina Ovsyannikova posted footage of her protest on her Telegram channel last Friday.

On Sunday, her team reported, again via Telegram, that Ovzyannikova had been arrested and taken to the Krasnoselsky police station in Moscow for a few hours.

Pictures of her arrest show her being led to a white van by two police officers.

The journalist is now free again, reports the independent Russian human rights media project OVD-Info.

The 44-year-old Marina Ovsyannikova became internationally known through her first protest action on March 14, when she protested against the Russian war of aggression with a cardboard sign during the evening news of the state channel "Pervy Kanal".

The former station employee snuck up behind the anchorwoman, holding a placard behind her that read: “Stop the war.

Don't believe the propaganda.

Here you will be lied to” into the camera.

After the protest, she was briefly in police custody, but was released and fined 30,000 rubles (about 250 euros).

She then spent several months abroad and worked briefly for the daily newspaper "Die Welt".

Earlier this month she had announced her return to Russia,

According to the law, which has been tightened several times, actions such as those undertaken by Marina Ovasyannikova are considered "false information" and "denigration" of the army.

They are punishable and can be punished with long prison sentences.

Since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression, the main charge has been “discrediting the army”.

Ovsyannikova's lawyer suspected that his client was under this suspicion.

However, the Russian judiciary has not yet initiated any further investigations against Owsyannikova.
