What happened
Evan Gershkovich, a US journalist, was arrested by Russian security forces in 2023 on espionage charges, the first US journalist to face such charges in Russia since the Cold War. Despite being imprisoned in Moscow's Lefortovo prison for 16 months, Gershkovich continued to report on his experiences.
Gershkovich has written a book, 'This Cursed Beautiful Land', detailing his time in prison. In an interview with WSJ Editor in Chief Emma Tucker, he recalled the fear he felt during his arrest and described how he survived his imprisonment.
