Ariel Zilber – New York Post March 9, 2022
The top editor of a Russian state-run media outlet who resigned in protest of President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine last week is warning that the world could be in danger of a nuclear war.
Maria Baronova, the editor-in-chief of RT, stepped down last week after publicly criticizing the invasion, telling her followers on the encrypted Telegram messaging service: “Our granddads didn’t fight for this.”
The Moscow-based journalist fears that the bloody invasion of Ukraine won’t stop there.
“The problem is, I know these people very well,” Baronova told Fox News Digital.
“They never send threats, they just kill, so there is kind of [a] weird silence around me, but I really think we’re on the brink of a nuclear war right now. I’m not exaggerating.”
Journalists in Russia who publicly criticize government policy risk their safety, but the situation is so dire that Baronova was motivated to speak out, she said.
“I have a son, I can’t leave because his father won’t allow me to leave with him, and so I just prefer to stay in Moscow … It seems like we’re either in North Korea or we are going to be killed by a thermonuclear mushroom,” Baronova told Fox News Digital.
“I wouldn’t quit, and I wouldn’t lose my salary and job if I was sure that we are going to be alive for many years, but I really don’t know what is going to happen to all of us next.”
At the start of the invasion, Putin ordered that his country’s nuclear weapons be prepared for heightened readiness to launch because of what he described as “aggressive statements” by Western adversaries.
Baronova said she doesn’t believe that Putin would resort to nuclear weapons. Instead, she fears that the Russian leader will goad the West into using nonconventional arms against her country.
“I suspect the Western world will use it,” Baronova said. “This is a very dangerous situation.”
Baronova told Fox News Digital that she quit after a colleague at RT posted an Instagram message that read: “If you are now ashamed of being Russian, don’t worry, you are not Russian.”
She said she was “really disturbed” by her colleagues’ willingness to spread government propaganda.
In response to the Instagram post, Baronova wrote: “If I chose to be with Russia, this does not mean that I should walk in a totalitarian system, be silent or, for example, rejoice that the regime, which I do not want for my country, is being exported somewhere else.”
“And this regime will finally turn our life into one endless hell. What’s there. Already turned.”
Baronova said the Instagram post was the last straw, leading her to quit RT.
“That was the moment I decided, ‘OK, that’s it,’” she said.
The Kremlin has launched a harsh crackdown on news organizations both foreign and domestic whose journalists are based in Russia.
Reporters who do not toe the government line on reporting on Ukraine are not allowed to operate freely in the country.
“Last straw”?
She’s an agent of disruption, but for whom does she work?
She is controled opposition, a useful idiot,who gets paid for her propaganda.This Bullshit article should not be posted on this site.
The amazing thing is that she had a senior broadcasting role in Russia in the first place.
This woman leads a movement funded by jailed mega-thief Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Therefore she is an agent of the oligarchs who have always wanted Putin out.
I shows how complex Russia is compared to the west. In the US or the UK such an anti-state actor would not be allowed anywhere near a top editor’s job in the BBC, CNN or any other mainstream outlet.
This means Putin does not dominate his own country in anything like the way the international Khazarian mafia have the west’s entire political systems by the throat.

Photographs of riot policemen detaining young women appeared on the homepages of internet media outlets Monday. In one picture, four uniformed police have grabbed a long-legged, blond activist, Maria Baronova. She is a leader of Open Russia, the exiled oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s public movement.
The fact she spoke to Fox News speaks volumes!
It’s obvious to anyone with half a brain RT was taken off the air ONLY because it gets too near to the truth!
I agree with Haribol, this article belongs to the gutter press, not this site.
If we can’t have the first choice of Russia winning the war so we can rebuild in peace, then the two choices left are to have humans wiped out to become trans-humans and genetically-engineered worker drones under the control of the last few men who call themselves gods; or humanity gets wiped out in a nuclear war, I think it better we go out in a nuclear war.
It will take aeons but the earth will heal itself, and the new life that appears will have a paradise without us around to threaten it. Maybe next time Mother Nature will limit higher intelligence to the four-legged pack hunters and a few marine mammals only. They can’t build bombs.
Baronova—Jewess, is there anyone to whom it is not glaringly obvious?

Nyah, nyah, nyah, you are not Russian ♫, you are not Russian ♪, you are not Russian ♫, tra-la-la.
colleague KNOWS.
Some pong in the ether here, not extending full trust to RT … Russian RINOs?
“Zilber” =(((Silver)))
Her face cannot conceal her duplicity. Just how many aforementioned murders by people she knows ‘very well’ is she aware of?
Well on your bike then love and close the door on your way to oblivion .
Of course…the various yarmulke Jewish cult members (Putin, Zelensky, Johnson, Biden etc) would love to drop a nuke or two on the white goyim…strange how none of the non-white continents: Africa, Asia, South America are involved in any of this, just the white gentile continents…how convenient..
it suits Putin to get his message to
the west in this way !
Ariel Zilber is as Russian as Zelensky is Ukrainian… so it’s all rather unsurprising..
Regarding Baranova… it’s probably best frightened little girls aren’t given too much credence..
or positions of responsibility… and that goes for in the rest of the world too..
Evil loves these wishy washy overly emotionl fools… it always has..
from day 1…
@ Haribol
Agreed! It is all part of the scare-mongering theatrics. She is a total flake.
It’s the New York Post: we are not expected to agree with it.

Now guess who own, control RT & SPUTNIK ???
Supposedly Armenian & would you trust them ??
Saying .. You need two Greeks to cheat a Jew ?
You need two Jews to cheat an Armenian ??
WHAT A JOKE!!!! Baranova was a leader of Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s Open Russia movement. when Putin purged the oligarchs, he put Khodorkovsky in jail for over a decade. The US, UK, Israel pleased for his release. No one hates Putin more than Mikhail K and the western media.
This just shows you how the opposition in places like Russia and Venezuela continue to have way more access to the main stream media than in the Western World.
She was interviewed by Dan Wootton tonight on his GB News show. He also called her the editor-in-chief of RT, but she put him right by saying that she was the managing editor. Some good stuff on that show, which can be found on YouTube – GB News – Dan Wootton – Thursday 10th March 2022.
100 Tory rebels before Christmas, partygate and GB News telling the truth about the “pandemic” finished it off in England. The rest of the screwball liberal-run west will have to follow.
she has no brain.
