The $50,000 Hit on Truth Itself
RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan
by The Islander [10-20-2025].
They put a price on her head because she built something they couldn’t control. Two neo-Nazis, tied to handlers hiding behind Western shadows, have been charged with plotting to assassinate RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan — the woman who built RT into a juggernaut that speaks truth to the empire’s lies.
For two decades she’s faced smear campaigns, sanctions, and now an actual hit squad, all for breaking the monopoly of Western propaganda. RT didn’t just report the news, it exposed the hypocrisy of those who claim to defend “democracy” while funding terror.
The same machine that armed radicals in Ukraine now sends them to silence Russian journalists. They can’t win on the battlefield, so they’ve declared war on the messengers.
And yet, Margarita endures, unbroken, unbowed. Her courage reminds us that journalism isn’t a job, it is the frontline. That every headline carries risk when you refuse to kneel.
They wanted to silence her. Instead, they amplified her voice. Because the more they try to kill truth, the louder it speaks.
