WSJ Reporter Evan Gershkovich Detained in Russia for Three More Months.
TL;DR Summary
The arrest of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich in Russia on espionage charges echoes the 1986 Soviet spy scandal involving journalist Nicholas Daniloff. Both journalists were working for prominent US outlets in Russia when they were arrested and incarcerated in Moscow’s infamous Lefortovo prison. While Daniloff was returned to the US in a prisoner swap just a few weeks after his arrest, Gershkovich remains in Lefortovo more than six weeks after his arrest, with no immediate prospects for release.
