Ovsyannikova fled house arrest in Russia last year with her 11-year-old daughter and currently resides in France. Her 14-year-old son remains with his father Igor Ovsyannikov, who serves as the head of the state-funded broadcaster RT’s Spanish bureau.
In August, Ovsyannikov filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife seeking to terminate her parental rights. He accused his ex-wife of pressuring their son not to apply to a Russian university and illegally leaving Russia with their daughter.
She was too. He’s a head of some small national subdivision handling translation mostly, she was a content manager on one of the main russian channels.
But that’s not the point, who take this propaganda bait, who doesn’t and just cash on it. I bet many topheads belong to the second category.
His obsession with taking kids there and taking revenge on his wife sounds stupid, if not insane.
