President Biden told reporters Tuesday that Russia's arrest of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich two weeks ago was 'totally illegal.'
. Russian authorities formally charged him last week with collecting"information constituting a state secret about the activities of an enterprise within Russia’s military-industrial complex," according to Russian state media outlet Tass. Evan Gershkovich, a journalist working for the Wall Street Journal detained in Russia on suspicion of spying for Washington, is escorted out of the Lefortovsky court in Moscow on March 30, 2023.
Attorneys hired by Dow Jones visited Gershkovich, whose parents left the Soviet Union for the U.S. in the 1970s, last week at"Psychologically it's very difficult," Andrei Soldatov, a Russian journalist who was repeatedly interrogated at the prison for his coverage of the country's secret services, told Fox News Digital.
"The history of this particular prison, many, many people were killed in the 1930s and 1940s during Stalin's purges, so this kind of thing creates a huge psychological pressure on you, and it doesn't help that Evan was so into Russian culture and Russian history, so maybe it would be better for someone who isn't familiar with it."
