Person:notes | Function: Journalist of the state-owned TV Rossiya-1, leading a political talk-show “60 minutes” (together with her husband Yevgeniy Popov) – the most popular talk-show in Russia) | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-50868 | ||||
Person:notes | Ms. Olga Skabeyeva is a journalist of the state-owned TV station Rossiya-1. Together with her husband Yevgeniy Popov, she hosts the most popular political talk-show in Russia, “60 Minutes”, where she has spread anti-Ukrainian propaganda, and promoted a positive attitude to the annexation of Crimea and the actions of separatists in Donbas. In her TV show she consistently portrayed the situation in Ukraine in a biased manner, depicting the country as an artificial state, sustained both militarily and financially by the West and thus – a Western satellite and tool in NATO’s hands. She has also diminished Ukraine’s role to “modern anti-Russia”. Moreover, she has frequently invited such guests as Mr Eduard Basurin, the Press Secretary of the Military Command of so-called “Donetsk People’s Republic” and Mr Denis Pushilin, head of the so-called “Donetsk People’s Republic”. She expelled a guest who did not comply with Russian propaganda narrative lines, such as “Russian world” ideology. Ms. Skabeyeva appears to be conscious of her cynical role in the Russian propaganda machine, together with her husband. Therefore, she is responsible for actively supporting or implementing, actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine. | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-50868 | ||||
