Russian TV producer 'extremely concerned' for safety after protest live on air
The Russian television producer who staged an extraordinary anti-war protest live on national television said she was fearful for my safety but would not take a single word back from her statement criticising Russias actions in Ukraine.
I dont regret one bit what I did, Marina Ovsyannikova told the Guardian in a phone interview on Wednesday. I will not take a single word back. These are my views.

Ovsyannikova told the Guardian that her anger with Russias political direction had been growing over the last few years.
First they cancelled the governor elections, then they started to ban independent media, then they poisoned [opposition leader Alexei] Navalny. My anger kept on growing. I was experiencing cognitive dissonance, the country wasnt going in the right direction.
