US journalist Evan Gershkovich has been in custody in Moscow for more than three weeks. Probably on the personal order of the Russian President. The star spoke to several companions and colleagues about the reporter – and how he became Putin’s hostage.
A few handwritten lines, written in Russian, give Evan Gershkovich’s parents a little courage, even if the fear never goes away these days. “I want to say that I’m not losing hope. I read. I do sports. And I’m trying to write. Maybe I’ll finally write something good,” her son lets her know in his first letter from prison. The Wall Street Journal, for which Gershkovich reports from Russia, published it last week.
