FSB detains American correspondent on suspicion of espionage

The Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich, a US citizen, was detained by operatives of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation on the territory of the Russian Federation. This is reported by a number of media outlets.

As it became known, Gershkovich was detained in Yekaterinburg. He is suspected of carrying out intelligence activities on the territory of the Russian Federation. The FSB reports that the man was collecting information about one of the enterprises of the military-industrial complex of the region.

There is no information yet whether Gershkovich is a career American intelligence officer or whether he collaborated with the US intelligence services on a temporary basis. But if the confidence of the investigation in his guilt is confirmed, he can be convicted under the article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Espionage”. However, often detained spies are exchanged sooner or later.

It can be assumed that Gershkovich is far from the only American citizen involved in the collection of intelligence data on the territory of the Russian Federation. Despite the deterioration of relations between Russia and the United States after the start of a special military operation, a large number of US citizens are still on Russian territory - these are both diplomats and journalists, entrepreneurs, religious figures, individuals who come to Russia as business travelers or tourists.

There is no doubt that every such foreign citizen from an unfriendly country should be under the close supervision of the special services during his stay on the territory of the Russian Federation.

If there is something, it is right that they were detained. Will be someone to change our prisoners in their prisons. By the way, more than 9000 Russians are serving sentences in US prisons. Some are on the case, and some are not.

[BARKAS]

Not only in the US, Russians are serving time in other countries, too, if they want to get their spy back, then let them negotiate with them.

No "if"! American means already to blame. Especially a journalist! Paws uphill and on the bunk ...

There are still many places in the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center, it is worth taking a closer look at the "journalists" there.

It is high time to collect them all over Russia. They took one of ours, take their "citizen" from us and change. The exchange fund must not be empty.

The US Consulate is in Eburg and it is in the center of the Russian "Silicon Valley". There is a collection of intelligence, and a network of NGOs. Although why be surprised if the American spy Simes is openly collecting information on talk shows. The lovers of the dollar in Russia have not yet died out.

[DMFalke]

They took the one they could and who set himself up. Ours cannot go into the embassy and arrest everyone. The stump is clear; everyone collects information and works for foreign intelligence - this is the task of any embassy But it is precisely because everything is in plain sight there at once, and therefore they endure.

[Nexcom]

The consulate has been closed for a long time. Reception of citizens is not conducted, visas are not issued, events are no longer held. Report outdated information.

[tralflot1832]

He probably wanted to count the tanks. He has two ways, like a journalist - 24 hours for expulsion or a journalist - a scout on a bunk. And for one it will be clear what is there in Slovenia.

[Nexcom]

Our Urals write that he almost tried to seep into UVZ "for an interview." I tried to contact UVZ employees in order to obtain special information.
Here they took it.

UVZ, by the way, is not in Eburg, but in Nizhny Tagil.
But yes, they say they took the contact equally.

[Nexcom]

I know where UVZ is. In my message, was it written that UVZ was in Ekaburg?

[bk316]

He wasn't, but the press release says he was caught red-handed in eburg, so it's unlikely he was trying to "leak" in the literal sense.
But the topic "count the tanks" suggests itself.

Come on. This not very smart penguin wanted to concoct a "millionth" report, so to speak, to surprise his audience.
To count all the tanks for this d ... "an overgrown child", one would have to run through UVZ for a couple of days. And it makes no sense.
But to interview the workers, paint it with the "necessary" colors, emphasize the required note, this is the very thing for the final public. So to speak, a report from the "Battlefield".

And why did you have to go to Nizhny Tagil for this? Ekaterinburg is a city full of various defense-industrial complex plants, which now may be even more important in conducting the NMD and for the development of weapons for our Army, the same Novator design bureau, which creates air defense missiles, and at the same time created the Caliber missile defense system. Near it, just recently, one "activist" of the "anti-war movement" was detained, who tried to "propaganda" the "working class and IT workers" ...

Yes, I think that they will shake everything out of him and then pardon - deport him. Maybe they will exchange it for someone...

He got pissed, he lost his scent, so they got confused. Quite a rhinestone lost exceptional! It would be necessary to fish out a dozen more, let them air the brains at the logging sites until they exchange them!

It is high time to re-equip it into a rehabilitation center for children and disabled people, participants of the SVO. There is a federal trauma center, the best place. Equipment in Yekaterinburg can be manufactured, do not care about sanctions and patents. At the same time, provide Russia with rehabilitation equipment, medical beds, wheelchairs.

They also forgot to mention Roizman.
Not everyone in my hometown is downright liberal. But, there are some. Alas.

PS Roizman recently spent 15 days in prison for reposting nasty things about the NVO and our fighters. Just got out. "Smells" is now verbal. And by no means incense.

Gershkovich, Dvorkovich, suggestive)))

If he is officially a journalist, then by 95%, he is a high-level spy. Under the guise of journalists, highly qualified spies have always worked in the Rothschild purchase of Europe.
The Venetians also had the most developed spy service.

The capture in Yekaterinburg of WSJ American correspondent Evan Gershkovich, who hung around military-industrial complex enterprises, with a criminal case for espionage, looks to be on the same line as the recent splashdown of an American drone in the Black Sea. We will finally be able to be convinced of this when we see the measure of restraint. And how many more Western journalists legally located in the country try on the fate of today's hero of the day for themselves, then the conversation is completely separate

[rotmistr60]

Interestingly, Yekaterinburg liberals are already on the verge of expressing indignation at the detention of a "democratic journalist" from the most "democratic country? I remember the episode with the "English stone" when the entire "liberal-democratic" public stood up for the British and loudly ridiculed the FSB. And when the British themselves admitted, that it is true that this "public" quietly merged into its toilet bowl. It was the same with the American spy in a wig. He is a spy in Africa as well, therefore, to the fullest with the prospect of an exchange.

[agoran]

In the old days, he was on a business trip at one of the aircraft factories.
We were given passes and a mandatory security briefing.
After the briefing, they led me into a room and showed the material evidence, which had been taken away from the spies. Interesting collection. And an interesting case: a woman from the guards was standing on the tower and noticed that a suspicious citizen was taking pictures of the airfield, she reported on command, but the suspect tried to escape. With a precise shot in the ass, the spy was stopped.
There was a joke going around for a long time like running like an American wounded in the ass.

[Stepnyak]

But this is already pleasing! Stop praying on a star mattress.

Amers have a lot of our prisons left. exchange fund, however.

Maybe the man was going to get a job at a tank factory and did not know how best to do it, he was embarrassed by the mental-language barrier. Tepericha will be given a special lapel hammer and chisel and into the mine for the extraction of iron ore, or maybe uranium ... How lucky in general.
