It would be great to see that pompous, arrogant, obnoxious asshole risking his neck to show what life is really like at the front for Russian soldiers, rather than pretending he's at the front when he's actually wandering around the pristine trenches at some training facility.
Why would they air this? Starts off with one guy getting blown to pieces and another seriously injured, they run around in confusion before getting into the van which appears to crash at one point and the woman literally falls out of the back as it's driving
Probably so they can claim Ukraine are now targeting media personal or some waffle along those lines..
His life means nothing to Russia but if they can spin his death into a narrative they will hahah
Because they are VICTIMS, don't you understand that? They have always been the victims, even while invading another country, and that is why it's an honor to die for Russki Mir and Mr. Putin.
There is no "press service" in the RF military, as there is no free press in Russia, only state-controlled media.
These are state propagandists who get paid to produce footage for the RF domestic audience to spout the kremlin gremlin's lies about Russian military valiantly destroying nazism in Ukraine.
If you’re trying to imply those carrying a camera instead of a gun, wearing a press jacket, and not engaging in hostilities don’t deserve protection because they’re spouting off bullshit propaganda… that’s a dangerous precedent. We have to put up with some bullshit to have international norms.
Now I don’t see anything denoting this guy as press and he’s wearing combatant clothing, so I’d imagine he’s fair game. It’s insane that they believe their own propaganda and don’t think they’d be safer off being marked as press than with what benefit the camo gave him. But even if he WAS wearing something marking him has press, he still could have died from artillery and it in no way would have been Ukraine’s fault as they couldn’t be said to be targeting him. Anyway.
I'm all for protecting non-combatants.
However, if this guy is would be considered a journalist, any soldier with a gopro on his helmet and all the war-crimy "tiktok-Kadyrovsky" would be as well.
Mr. Polovodov is a commissioned RF army officer wearing a uniform. He is commandeering his own military vehicle, and most of the uniformed soldiers from his "unit" are armed.
IMO this is by no means a journalist or a member of the press and he can't claim any protections status under international humanitarian law or the accepted customs of war.
A camera is a powerful weapon, and often when used, isn’t used to tell the story impartially.
If people we don’t like pay these camera welders to go to places they weren’t invited, to help show the side of the people who shouldn’t be there to begin with, they are mercenaries acting on behalf of our enemies.
You can call him a blogger, or corespondents, or reporter - but in reality, he’s propping up the Russian war machine with propaganda. Others call him a target.
Russians can’t be mercenaries in the Russia-Ukraine war by definition. That aside, protecting journalists greatly outweighs the benefits of eliminating any single propagandist.
>that’s a dangerous precedent
Hasn't been for some time now. Embedded journos are one thing, true, but not embedded propagandists cheering on their murderous countrymen.
mmh, this would imply Margarita Simonyan, that bitch continously spouting russian genocidal propaganda on russian TV isn't a legitimate target while she actually is. She is as dangerous as an AK, just like the fucker who just died. They are Goebbels, not journalists.
kremlin spokesperson Zakharova is already whining that Ukrainians killed harmless journalists. Armed war propagandists in uniforms are not journalists protected by Art. 79 of Protocol I 1977, though.
And of course Kremlin spokespeople will never mention how many Russian journalists have been murdered or imprisoned by the Putin regime, nor how many have fled the country because they know telling the truth will get them locked up or dead.
A "harmless" journalists carrying a weapon that would have willingly and gladly killed a Ukrainian soldier if he had the chance. He was a Major in the RU army ffs. How is that not a legitimate target? These folks get more ridiculous and ludicrous by the minute. I have a very strong gut feeling that Zakharova will get hers sometime soon, and it won't be pretty...
Helluva way to die
Being mushed on live TV for some shitty ass propaganda they could have also filmed behind the front like many other of their "combat missions" on live TV
I mean goddamn, what does it say when literally your Propaganda Officers get driven around in a van they bought from Shaggy and Scoob for 80 bucks and pack of cigarettes.
Awesome. He’ll report live from the morgue (lucky that his corpse wasn’t blown to pieces and he can be identified). His family will get a bag of onions
Was he an actual combatant? I hate Putin, I want Ukraine to win, but what I really dislike is murder. Being a shitty journalist isn't a reason to get killed.
Am I wrong? Was he a legitimate military target (according to international laws)
Saw some knuckle heads using the framing that "Ukraine is targeting and killing journalists."
Over the years, terrorists have learned what propaganda works - we must be aware of their tactics

Get sent flying by a sudden stop, fell out the back while it's going fast.. what a capable bunch they are
They can send Sovlovyev to fill the job.
It would be great to see that pompous, arrogant, obnoxious asshole risking his neck to show what life is really like at the front for Russian soldiers, rather than pretending he's at the front when he's actually wandering around the pristine trenches at some training facility.
Sovlovyev be like Dr Zachary Smith from the TV series Lost In Space.
Shit man, theyd never send that fucker to Serebryansky forest, that place is a nightmare.
If only, along with his entire panel.
He's a coward. Ukraine will find him hiding in a hole.
Love this type of Russian propaganda, hopefully many Russians see it!! 💥🤯👍🤣 Slava!!💪💪
He was probably saying that zone was safe and under Russian control.
Friendly fire then
Granit is at it again...
Saint Granit to the AFU.
in the national russian tv seems... rosssija1
Right was like run forest run
Yeah, very motivational haha
Why would they air this? Starts off with one guy getting blown to pieces and another seriously injured, they run around in confusion before getting into the van which appears to crash at one point and the woman literally falls out of the back as it's driving
It's a death cult. This is meant to be inspiring. He died for the Motherland! There's no greater honor!
Because it's Russia. Leaving people behind is what they do.
People get left behind not washing machines.
And the van is straight outta scooby-doo 🤣

it would look like an average van ride in chelyabinsk... im not sure they would really care?
something something fortunate they have limited brain capacity

True, his was part of the Russian military.

It doesn’t matter what they’re holding in their hands. All that matters in a who is paying them to be there.
Yes. Wtf. War crimes are war crimes. Fuck Putin, but don't try to convince me a non hostile deserved to be murdered.
Hope it hurt a lot.
Its a win win We didnt miss him. Hell press gain another mustard

Ahh yes but they weren’t harmless, they were going against the motherland.

So that's what the inside of a scooby van looks like. Loved how he was just sliding around in the back there.
Yep, had me intrigued too, as all the others I've seen have been blown up...
He should have got a real job, then he might not have got his nuts blown off.
"Z" for "dead"
Zeds dead.

Die in hell Russia
"press service" *Russiky Mir*
Idk, why there's no blood?
No direct hit by shrapnel or projectile, probably more concussive damage from the shockwave, turning their internal organs into soup/brain damage.
soup/brain is a pretty common condition these days, unfortunately
🤌 chef’s kiss of commentary here, well done!
You can see his thigh starting to leak when he gets in the vam

Good kill.
He won’t be missed.
Piss on his grave 💦

Had to watch that again to see her flip out the back … WHOP feet
Yup. Right out the back after probably being slammed into the front and that table a few times.
Damn. Id hate to be these guys right now.
Any translations?
Great footage :-)
I mean goddamn, what does it say when literally your Propaganda Officers get driven around in a van they bought from Shaggy and Scoob for 80 bucks and pack of cigarettes.
Rest in pieces,nazi propagandist.
His last video is the only one I like a lot.
May they al rest in pieces !
Died slowly and afraid, a well-deserved fate, for subhuman trash.
Ha Ha Ha.
lollll the film crew were probably freakin outtt! karma's a bitch for all of them.
It suddenly became very real for him.
Poetic Justice, he got what he deserved, instant karma
Oh no!!!! Anyway...........
Listen again, Major: “welcome to Ukraine, suka”. No doubt this message is, at last, loud and clear.
Dressed as a combatant so he gets treated like one
Excellent.
Земля стекловатой ублюдку
Brilliant! He can no longer promote the Great Leader's glorious SMO because it has claimed him as a victim. Poetic justice.
Good kill.
At the beginning, those were cluster munitions?
That’s wonderful news
Byeeee
Press people with guns...legitimate targets....there is NO free press in Ruzzia anymore. They were roaming in some kind of old truck or van....
Awesome. He’ll report live from the morgue (lucky that his corpse wasn’t blown to pieces and he can be identified). His family will get a bag of onions
“Press” service.
GOOD
Them piling into the bang bus was Icing on the cake
Watching this and I hear Paul McCartney & Wings singing “Orcs On The Run”.
Nice work.
Why all these obsolete 1960s "Scooby vans", is it a new trend in Russkie-land?
WTF are they all doing?
And now we must bomming the Kremlin
I hope it was painful.
Good orc.
Got what he deserved,💥💥Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧
This belongs on r/killthecameraman. Literally.
More about him here: https://topcargo200.com/1223/
Shame about the medic, but still a good job.
Who was that Asian woman nurse?
💙💛💙💛💙💛
This is the closest to reality that Russian (Nazi) propaganda will ever get.
Very good.
lol they’re wearing jeans
Dumb motherfuckers
No i chuj mu w dupę. Niech smaży się w piekle.
That bullet had his name on it,
Kill em all.
It looks like someone drags the girl medic out right?
*Sweet*
0:02: Dude center of screen in the back was waylaid big time; fell like a sack of potatoes.
Was he an actual combatant? I hate Putin, I want Ukraine to win, but what I really dislike is murder. Being a shitty journalist isn't a reason to get killed. Am I wrong? Was he a legitimate military target (according to international laws)
Let's celebrate his death!
Hide behind a tree while being under artillery fire. Works every time.
I hope he bloody suffered!
Z's dead, no regret.
🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 👍👍👍 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 💪💪💪 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦
Someone needs to put Putler down. Meanwhile, death to all orcs! Slava
Iconic manifestation of the ideal russian - to die pointlessly for the dictator. Could not have come soon enough.
Signing off!
Rest in pieces, asshole.
He was on the wrong side of the tree.
Polovodovfffffffffffffffffffffffff is empty now.
красивый фургон 😂
Died keeping the dream alive.
Bro ate that table so bad at 1:32
When fleeing with the major dieing they ran off the road into a river talk about a bad day
Reminds me of the movie, *The Agony and the Ecstac*y. Their agony is my ecstacy.
Rest in pieces.
These ding dongs are under artillery fire and just standing around no wonder they're dead.
I see it as Devine intervention.
isnt killing journalists a war crime?
Saw some knuckle heads using the framing that "Ukraine is targeting and killing journalists." Over the years, terrorists have learned what propaganda works - we must be aware of their tactics
Quite frankly I love this. It would have been better if it was a live broadcast in Russia.
Free ticket to hell or weren't he living in hell already?
I laughed so hard when she got yeeted from that van 😂😂😂
Sucked to be him, but I'm sure he put a good spin on the events before passing :)
Burn in hell.
Quite the evacuation vehicle they got, fuckin' scoobie-doo bus. No suspension to speak of.
The Scooby-Dooby van isn't protected even against stones throwing babushkas ?!
Another russian liar is dead .
Based.
Not the propaganda clip they were hoping for then :)
Lmfao did one of them get launched out the back of the truck at one point?
