EVAN GERSHKOVICH
in conversation with radhika jones
Evan Gershkovich, the first American journalist jailed in Russia since the Cold War, was tried on false espionage charges and sentenced to 16 years in prison. He spent nearly 500 days in prison before his release in August 2024. The Wall Street Journal foreign correspondent explains the events leading to his arrest, his time in prison and his haunting relationship with Russia as detailed in his highly acclaimed new memoir, This Cursed Beautiful Land. Radhika Jones, former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, moderates the discussion.
