Russian state TV show same person to be both Right Sector extremist and victim
Russia's War Against Ukraine
Halya Coynash: Russian channels caught lying
Russian TV got caught up in their own lies -- showing the same person, Andriy Petkov, as both a victim of the Right Sector and an extremist working for the Right Sector, the militant wing of the EuroMaidan Revolution that toppled Viktor Yanukovych as president on Feb. 22.
Despite the vast amounts Russia is spending on anti-Ukrainian propaganda, the TV channels Rossiya 1 and NTV skimped on actors – and got caught.
Rossiya 1 shows a person they call Andriy Petkov and call him a supporter of federalism who was beaten up by “radicals” from Right Sector supposedly brought into Mykolaiv by the military.
