Margarita Simonyan, a prominent Kremlin propagandist, said that Russia should become „a safe haven“ for people who disagree with woke ideologies.
Prominent Kremlin propagandist Margarita Simonyan said she wishes Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke more about „conservative values“ during his interview with Tucker Carlson.
Carlson, a former host at Fox News before getting ousted by the network in the spring, released a two-hour interview with Putin on Thursday, the first that the Kremlin leader has given to a Western journalist since launching his invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The conversation has received heavy amounts of criticism, with some labeling the interview as a propaganda opportunity for Putin.
The conversation spanned from an in-depth Russian history lesson to Putin’s thoughts on the U.S. 2024 presidential election. But Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Russian stated-owned broadcaster RT, lamented in a series of social media posts about one of the topics that was not mentioned during the interview—Russia’s views on „woke“ ideologies.
