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.

14yo is too young to apply anywhere, most courses don’t even start to specialize around that age. And as a boy, he has better chances elsewhere, let’s be honest.
I’m half-sure he is consulted by the gov to bait Ovsyannikova into going back. Or and make news about child stealing, as they did with international adoption a decade prior to this mess.
But does he want to get something out of it? Return children by getting their mother into prison? Is he pressured into it, or he is just that dumb?

He’s the head of a propaganda machine.
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.
