Russian state media channels have been flung into crisis mode after Ukraine incursion into Russia 's Kursk Oblast .

Margarita Simonyan , one of Russia 's foremost propagandists, has gone AWOL.

"She's barely posting on social media and she's not appearing on state TV," says Julia Davis , creator of the Russian Media Monitor .

Russian authorities declared a state of emergency in Belgorod Oblast as Ukraine 's incursion showed no signs of letting up.

Ukraine 's TSN news program showed Ukrainian soldiers removing the Russian flag in the town of Sudzha in Kursk Oblast , the first TV reporting from the embattled Russian region.
