The film about Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny won the best documentary feature award.
A movie about the poisoning of a prominent Russian opposition leader won an Oscar Sunday night, but Russian TV seems to have barely reacted.
Users Sirena (Siren) and Agentstvo (the Agency) both described on Telegram what was mentioned in the morning reports on Russian news outlets.
A Russian investigative outlet, Agentstvo said, « Channel One, Russia 1 and NTV did not mention the Oscar ceremony in their morning broadcasts today. »
Agentstvo wrote, « The Oscars were not talked about in the news releases that aired every half an hour on Channel One and Russia 1 in the morning shows. Their main topics were: another shelling in Donetsk, protests in Israel and Moldova, floods in the Saratov region, snowfall in Primorye, the return of Russian children from Syria and the investigation of sabotage at Nord Stream.
