“My father is a Ukrainian,” said Marina Ovsyannikova in the circulation that she recorded before she rushed into the live broadcast of the “Time” program with an anti -war poster. Actually, Ovsyannikova (then Tkachuk) and was born in the Ukrainian SSR - in Odessa. Then her family moved to the Kuban, and the girl was seriously carried away by swimming: she handed over to the first youthful category and even won the Kuban State University (KubSU) in the championship of the Krasnodar Territory among universities.

Ovsyannikova swims well and now (describing herself on Facebook, she indicated that she was crossing the Volga and Bosphorus), but back in the 1990s she decided to associate her career with journalism: she entered in absentia to the journalism faculty of the KubSU and came to work at the Kuban State Heads of the Kuban. There, the current member of the Union of Cinematographers of the Russian Federation, Yuri Arkhangelsky, worked with her. According to him, the main teacher of Ovsyannikova was the then director of Kuban Vladimir Runov, who taught her at the journalism department. “He brought several people to the GTRK, and Marina became his beloved student,” says Arkhangelsk. - She then made a cycle of the “reverse side” programs - that we [in the region] were not very good, let's say. The program was shot as a documentary cinema-one or two weeks, the timing was 45 minutes. The topics were mostly social: sewage is poorly working - we climb into the hatches and take off. ”

In 1996, Arkhangelsk, together with the 18-year-old Ovsyannikova, flew on a business trip first to Mozdok, and then to Grozny. “The first Chechen war ended, the restoration of [cities] was,” says Yuri Arkhangelsk. - Marina is such a person: she agreed to go at work anywhere - where it is very good, and where it is very bad, in any place. She did not refuse any work. [I was not afraid] to take an interview where they did not really want to give it. For this she is a big plus, of course. ”

The fact that they work for the state, the channel’s employees did not even think about another former colleague of Ovsyannikova: “Then there were different times, there were many publications in the region, opposition to the governor, so the issue of censorship was not acute. When work itself is interesting, social plots, you don’t really think about politics. Yes, and we were not so many years to think about her. ” According to the interlocutor of the “cold” (she asked not to name her name), Ovsyannikova was “a brave and purposeful girl”: “She always shot plots on socially significant, sharp topics - about offended and offended. I was always touched by what a compassionate girl she was. I wanted the heroes about whom I took off the plots, with the help of my journalistic work to help. ”

For some time, having worked as a correspondent, Ovsyannikova soon went to increase and became the host of the Kuban News program. Former journalist of Kommersant Maria-Louise Tirmaste wrote that Ovsyannikova was a star of Kuban television. Her teacher Vladimir Runov told the "cold" that Marina Ovsyannikova "showed herself normally at work"; He said to other publications that he had helped the student enter the RANEPA. So in the early 2000s, the journalist moved from Krasnodar to Moscow.

In Moscow, she married Igor Ovsyannikov, who is now working as a director on RT. They had two children, and then the couple divorced - according to the editor -in -chief of RT, Margarita Simonyan, they "have long been living different lives." I found Ovsyannikova in Moscow and a new job - at the Directorate of Information Programs of Channel One. As one of the familiar Ovsyannika journalist Farida Rustamova said , "she was an editor in the International Department at the Directorate of Information Programs for many years, namely, in the unit that has been engaged in the exchange and carrion of video materials." In fact, this means mainly the work of the technical and observation. “Its tasks included the translation into the Russian language of direct speech of foreign politicians, businessmen, cultural figures and ordinary people, as well as the creation of video reviews,” explains Rustamova's interlocutor. “It can be said that she was a cog in a large machine to prepare news programs on Channel One.”

“On the First Channel, as elsewhere, a variety of people work. And, of course, among them there are those who do not share the official position, but cannot say it out loud, fearing to remain at such a time without work, ”says Elena Afanasyeva, who previously headed the Channel Channel Channel Channel Channel Channel Channel Channel. - In 1991, on the first day of the putsch in the “Time” program, the report of Sergei Medvedev appeared from the White House, because not only the journalist himself committed the act, but also because part of the leadership looked in both directions, choosing who it is more profitable to support. Now the broadcast of the federal channel is an report that does not correspond to the official line is unrealistic. ”

Apparently, that is why Ovsyannikova chose the path of direct intervention on the air. As Farid Rustamova, her acquaintance said , colleagues were very surprised by her act, because they never heard her talk about politics: “Mostly about children, dogs and house.” On the social networks of Ovsyannikova “cold”, it was also not possible to find any political publications - she published mostly impressions of traveling in Europe and photographs of her dog Berry.

It is reliably unknown how Ovsyannikova managed to get into the live broadcast of the first: her work on the channel was never connected with the presence in the frame. The journalist and founder of the factor edition “Checked” Ilya Ber, who himself worked in the past in the structures related to the first channel, talked with his friends at the information broadcasting directorate. According to the interlocutors of Bera, to access the air zone you need to open an electronic lock, as well as go through a police post. However, none of this seems to be too complicated employees: many have keys to the castle, and the policeman has been sitting in this place for many years and is not used to any incidents. “Imagine: the corridor, the table is on the left, the cop, the door is sitting on the right, does not close. You just have to push, ”says the interlocutor Bera. - In this post, nothing happened 300 years. Ment is half a day. Then a presentable girl comes in a vigorous step, pushes the door and passes. All this takes two seconds. The cop does not even have time to understand what is happening. From the door to Andreeva 7-10 meters without any obstacles. ”

Afanasyeva believes that Ovsyannikova’s speech is her “obviously personal act that can give and has already given strength to many of her colleagues.” The day after Ovsyannikova’s invasion, testimonies began to appear on the air of “Time” that employees of state and prolapping media far from unanimously approve of the war, as it might seem to be on the air. According to the journalist and director Roman Super, the Producer of the Putin’s Department has already left the VGTRK, one of the oldest producers “Vesti of the Week” resigned, the director of the daily broadcast Gleb, the head of the “Putin department” Julia Vorobyova, resigned; The correspondent Vadim Gluker left NTV, and from the first - the leading Jeanne Agalakova. “Most of the remaining employees are filthy:“ If we weren’t loans, we would have dumped, ”Super reports . “Right now, the editorial staff says that TV presenter Sergei Brilev is also leaving the VGTRK.”
