Gershkovich's Sentencing Exposes Corruption in Russian Legal System

Evan Gershkovich, a journalist for The Wall Street Journal, was sentenced to 16 years in a Russian prison on espionage charges. There are ongoing discussions about a potential prisoner exchange to secure his release. One possibility is that Gershkovich could be exchanged for Sergey Cherkasov, a Russian accused of espionage in the United States. This process shows how corrupt the Russian legal system is and how easily it can convict innocent people just to have a suitable exchange partner for a Russian spy on the American side.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Convenient how you throw your camp under the bus the minute it is convenient. This has nothing to do with Putin.

And yeah no. Modern Russia and the USSR are not the same thing.

And slaughtering civilians is something the British Empire spent hundreds of years doing so glass houses and all that.

And no. The Russian Empire before it...sure.

Also it seems strange that a Patriarch of a Church would support a law forbidding evangelism.
