The Syrian armed group “Liva at-Tauhid”, which holds the Russian traveler Konstantin Zhuravlev, and the activists of the all-Russian movement “Alternative” agreed on the conditions for the release of the prisoner, said the leader of the movement, Oleg Melnikov.

Syrian militants agree to exchange the kidnapped Russian for the arrested wives of their colleagues


Captured by militants in Syria over a year ago, Russian tourist Konstantin Zhuravlev may soon return to his homeland, Interfax-Siberia reports. The exchange of the kidnapped Russian for the wives of the militants became possible thanks to the efforts of the members of the Russian movement “Alternative”.

“We held talks with the rebels and agreed that Konstantin Zhuravlev could be exchanged for three rebel wives held in government prisons. We agreed that these women should not take part in hostilities, ”the leader of the“ Alternative ”Oleg Melnikov told the news agency.

According to him, the members of the group promised not to kill the traveler. “In the near future it should be transported to a place not subject to bombing, so that nothing could threaten Constantin’s life,” Melnikov said.

He noted that he hopes to meet with representatives of the Syrian authorities to discuss the details of the exchange. “If we have already reached an agreement with the rebels, we have not yet engaged in close negotiations with representatives of the Syrian authorities. There are certain exchange nuances, ”Melnikov added.



Tomsk blogger and traveler Konstantin Zhuravlev was captured in early October 2013 in the north of Syria by the armed group “Liva at-Tauhid”. The militants declared him a “Russian spy” and promised to make a decision about his further fate “following the results of the Sharia investigation”.

Soon members of the group recognized that Zhuravlev was not a spy, and declared their readiness to negotiate.

      I wanted a thrill ?! Russia has nothing else to do, how to get you out of the zindan (so that the bugs bite you there!) ?! "It's a shame and ugly!" Would you like to be known as such a "cool" kid? So "cool" are only eggs that have been cooked for a long time! Or did you not know such elementary things? Strange, like a "seasoned" person! fool

    If they return, then some of the wives (unloved, old, ugly) will probably be executed. It’s easy with that, for treason, or something like that. That's when they tell this dumbass that he has blood on his hands, he hangs himself, or tells about freedom of movement and human rights.

    The world is gradually but surely shifting to Israeli methods of resolving hostage problems.
    The main thing is to keep more "arguments" for negotiations.
    Certainly not beautiful, not ethical, but effective.

      about ethics - Heinlein has - "where necessary - you need to be able to eat with a fork" (c). if these people, being in the 13th century, understand only such arguments, the wind in their sail! remember the "vanguard of the party" in the 70s, how they acted during the seizure of our embassy in some farther (in my opinion, Lebanese).

    But if you think about it, the hover was reasoning correctly. "I go without a weapon. I travel and I do not want to bring evil to anyone." Have you read the blog? If not, check it out.
    Of course he asked for it. But if there hadn’t been a Mohammedan bastard, a guy would have gone on his own to travel further east. And otkel of the bastard-Mujahideen, I ask you, gentlemen?

      And why did the Foreign Ministry ignore the warning? They said to refrain from visiting the territory of Syria, not to approach the borders ... Those who poison children with sarin, for the sake of a beautiful picture, have nothing human. And Zhuravlev acted very irresponsibly.

    They cannot be called in any other way. members of groupings.
    And really, how everyone writes ... well, what crap did he get in there? Well, what the hell is that? Wanted a thrill?

    Good day! It doesn’t matter: how, and what brought him there. It is important that he is RUSSIAN.
    Remember the "throw" in Yugoslavia. We do not know its goals and objectives.
    Do not judge RUSSIAN.
