Olga Skabeyeva is one of Russian state media's most prominent propagandists. Her recent remarks about the onset of 'World War III' raised eyebrows across the world.
But Sarah Oates, a professor and senior scholar at the University of Maryland's Philip Merrill College of Journalism, told Insider that Skabeyeva's declaration marked an important shift in tone that could help reveal just how far the Kremlin will go to spite the West and achieve its goals in Ukraine.
"This moment shows a shift in acceptable state rhetoric, because she's a mouthpiece for the state," Oates said."Anything she says is reflective of the official Kremlin line.", and we don't really know where Putin's ambition stops."Skabeyeva has become one of Russian state-run television's most prominent figures after years of echoing Kremlin-backed lines on current events and modern social issues.
Skabeyeva and Popov responded to the claims with"outrage," the documentary said, dismissing the claims as"all a lie, we are not paid so much and in general this is not your business." Another investigative outlet, "She is, to some extent, very similar to Carlson's popularity. A controversial, scandalous person who polarizes," Gatov said.State-sponsored Russian propaganda has existed for decades. But unlike Soviet-era propaganda, which frequently relied on positive messages about Russian resilience and peace, Putin-era propaganda has veered into a decidedly negative and"absolutely fascist" tone, Gatov said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin holds a meeting of the Russia - Land of Opportunity platform supervisory board at the Catherine's Hall of the Kremlin in Moscow on April 20, 2022.Skabeyeva, who built her career throughout the last 15 years under the Putin regime, often propagates those tropes, complaining bitterly of the debauchery and excess of Western nations, while simultaneously portraying Russia as their morally superior, yet woefully mistreated opponent.
