February Morning, an online TV channel broadcast in Russian, offers its audience a different take on the war in Ukraine. Its founder says his goal is nothing less than the end of the Putin regime.
Ilya Ponomarev is the founder of February Morning, an opposition Russian-language online newscast aimed at viewers in Russia. Behind him is a flag symbolizing the"free Russia of the future," created following Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Ponomarev calls it the"Russian tricolor without the blood."Ilya Ponomarev is the founder of February Morning, an opposition Russian-language online newscast aimed at viewers in Russia.
The channel, called February Morning , also runs dozens of Telegram channels - the news messaging app where most Russians get their information about the war."To destroy this army, to destroy the regime, to dismantle the empire and to create a new country," he says."That's the only way. I think there will no longer be a Russian Federation as we know it. There will be a new country with a new name. Russia has to be re-created.
Less than a month after the invasion, February Morning was born. It is broadcast on YouTube and he says 60% of its audience is in Russia. "I understood that his idea to oust Putin's regime was very cool," she says."This is different. This is special. It's a special mission for me."Countering the Kremlin's propaganda is a round-the-clock job, says Rybalchenko.
Nostalgia for Soviet times is only a tiny part of why Russians are going along with the invasion, he says. Putin is playing on memories of the 1990s.
