Simonyan's front line claims dismissed as propaganda ploy
Margarita Simonyan, with tears in her eyes, expressed on television her desire to go to the front lines. A key figure in Russian propaganda, she stated that "she would be killed on the second day." She mentioned this would be the simplest solution following her husband's illness, as he had fallen into a coma.
Simonyan is the editor-in-chief of "Russia Today" and one of the Kremlin's leading propagandists. In January, she reported that her husband, Russian propaganda film director Tigran Keosayan, fell into a coma after collapsing and experiencing clinical death.
Now, Margarita Simonyan is using her husband's illness to spread propaganda content on television. In one interview, she remarked that it would be much easier for her to head to the war front with Ukraine.
The interviewer asked if she wouldn't be afraid of going to the front and fighting. The propagandist quickly regained her composure, stating that she "only fears for her family," and suggested that engaging in combat would be preferable for her.
The video was commented on by Anton Gerashchenko. The war blogger and former deputy head of Ukraine's Interior Ministry stated that Simonyan had no genuine desire to go to the front.
Of course, warmonger Simonyan never intended to put her life in any danger - she's busy spreading Putin's propaganda, Gerashchenko wrote on social media, commenting on the propagandist's appearance.
Much of the information conveyed by Russian media and government representatives is likely untrue. Such reports may be part of the Russian Federation's information war.
