She has been detained [2]. Afterwards someone created a fake Twitter account @MarinaOvsyy , impersonating her.&lt;p&gt;[1]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Marina_Ovsyannikova#Anti-war_protests&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Marina_Ovsyannikova#Anti-war_p...&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;p&gt;[2]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Marina_Ovsyannikova#Aftermath&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Marina_Ovsyannikova#Aftermath&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

It&amp;#x27;s a fascinating place and it&amp;#x27;s often not hard to figure out who are trolls, bots and fake accounts, but sometimes you really have to think and look at surrounding activities.</text></comment>
