You really can't really over emphasize just how incredibly brave you have to be in order to do something like this in Russia.

[SpaceyMonkey]

Equivalent to the the lone protester who stood down the tanks at Tiananmen Square. A gesture that will be recorded among history's great acts of civil disobedience. Extremely moving, inspiring. Heavens help that brave woman.

[rgwak]

Wow. That is what you call courage. 👏👏👏

PS - Sign read: “Stop the war. Don’t believe the propaganda. They are lying to you."

[northnsouth]

That woman is braver than any politician hiding behind a desk.

[robhaitch]

That woman deserves a nobel peace prize.

[maysaniyazova]

Wow. WOW. you have to understand, this isn't "just" a state TV channel. This is Channel 1, it is THE state TV channel. This is unbelievably brave.

[BigDanOz]

People with balls, willing to speak truth to power! 👍 God bless her 🙏 And the truth

[richardflower]

Brave people can make a difference. America is on a fight for democracy itself. I hope this inspires more Americans to resist the totalitarian politicians surfacing this past year. I applaud her courage!

[agbooladaniel]

One of the bravest lady I will ever see in my lifetime. If only there are more people like her.

[PeterSedesse]

Can you imagine that woman's bravery to know that this is probably going to cost her her life... to help another country.

[RosaLopez-zwff]

This brave woman is not she who does not feel afraid, but she who conquers that fear. Bravo!

[tormuse]

Holy crap, I'm in awe that she was able to pull that off. :o I admire her courage, but I'm also scared for what's going to happen to her as a result.

[spillledcarryout]

God Bless her! She is opening hearts and minds. I just pray she's OK.

[ecogeek.]

What that woman did was extremely courageous.

[muuuuuud]

My heart goes out to that brave woman. We're all historic actors, big or small, but we all matter.

[camrenwick]

The bravest action I've seen from anyone. She had no one to support her or bodyguards like the cowardly politicians. She deserves to be rescued and awarded the highest of awards

[kamuelalee]

God bless this woman's courage and stand for human rights in the face of crazed tyranny.

[SteelHex]

Brave doesn’t begin to describe her. Wherever she is right now, I hope she’s ok.

[carcerate]

Amazing to see her do this. This takes so much courage. People fighting in their own way...

[ewanmiller]

This epic bravery of a woman is in stark contrast to epic cowardice of a dictator, who is commanding his failing troops to shell the civilian population of Ukraine from the safer distance, wile hiding in his bunker.
