Russia Today's Simonyan admits fear of front line danger
Margarita Simonyan tearfully expressed on television her desire to go to the front lines. One of the key figures in Russian propaganda stated that she believed she "would be killed on the second day." She explained that this thought came as the simplest resolution after coping with her husband's illness, who had fallen into a coma.
Simonyan serves as the editor-in-chief of "Russia Today" and is one of the Kremlin's prominent propagandists. In January, she reported that her husband, Russian propaganda film director Tigran Keosayan, fell into a coma following a collapse and experiencing clinical death.
Currently, Margarita Simonyan is using her husband's illness to spread propaganda content on television. In one interview, she mentioned that going to the front of the war with Ukraine would be much easier for her.
I was there when my husband fell into a coma. Now my children live with me and my sister. I think I could go to the front. I would die on the second day, of course, but it would be easier for me, she stated tearfully.
When the interviewer asked if she feared going to the front and fighting, the propagandist quickly regained her vigor and stated that she "only fears for her family," and that being in a situation where she started fighting would somehow be better 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 never genuinely intended 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, wrote Gerashchenko on social media, commenting on the propagandist's appearance.
Much of the information provided by Russian media and government representatives is likely false. Such reports may be part of the information warfare by the Russian Federation.
