Pregnant Woman Smeared as Ukrainian 'Crisis Actor' in Hospital Bombing Gives Birth

WESTERN UKRAINE—Marianna Podgurska, a beauty blogger from Mariupol who was caught on camera with her face covered in blood after Russia bombed a maternity ward and a children’s hospital in Mariupol, gave birth to a baby girl on Thursday night, her relatives said.

Marianna’s aunt, Tetyana Liubchenko, who lives in Bodrum, Turkey, confirmed the news to The Daily Beast in a phone interview. She said Marianna’s husband Yuriy was able to call them this morning to let them know.

“Her husband called and said that Marianna gave birth to a baby girl. Her weight is 3,200 grams. He said he was together with her in a hospital, in a hospital’s bomb shelter,” Liubchenko said.

Marianna Podgurska was pictured by an AP photographer in Mariupol after a Russian strike on a maternity ward and children’s hospital there on March 9, which killed three and injured 17 people. Photos taken of Marianna after the attack showed her wrapped in a blanket after apparently getting injured in the attack.

I know the KGB has been adept at misinformation since it was originated but the recent techniques I believe were perfected by the GQP and their media enablers.

But basic propaganda techniques are similar the world over.
