Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson's visit to Moscow has received near-constant coverage in Russia's state media, amid speculation that he may interview President Vladimir Putin.
Social media has also been awash with images of him visiting sites around Moscow, as his every move is followed.
The conservative journalist has been an outspoken defender of Mr Putin.

Breaking news Telegram channel Mash was the first to report that Carlson had arrived in the Russian capital, posting a photo of him boarding a flight from Istanbul, and another of him reportedly visiting Moscow's famous Bolshoi Theatre to watch the ballet Spartacus.
On Tuesday, the Evening Moscow newspaper published a photo of Carlson on its front page with the headline: "Carlson, who lives in America, but speaks the truth.”
Pro-Kremlin newspaper Izvestia posted videos of what it said was Carlson's vehicle entering and leaving Moscow's presidential administration building with filming equipment on board.
Earlier, it released a clip of Carlson in his hotel speaking to a reporter.
"I've read so much about Russia but I've never seen it before. I wanted to look around and see how it's doing - and it's doing very well," he can be heard saying.
Asked whether an interview with Mr Putin was among his plans, he replied: "Let's see."
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was tight-lipped when questioned by journalists about the interview.
"We have nothing to tell you at the moment. If such plans are implemented, we shall inform you," he said on Monday.
Carlson has defended Mr Putin several times since the Russian president launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
