American journalist Evan Gershkovich will stand trial in Russia on charges of spying for the CIA, prosecutors announced Thursday.
The prosecutor's office said that Gershkovich's indictment on espionage charges had been finalized following an investigation by Russia's Federal Security Service, or FSB.
It said he had "acted on instructions from the CIA" and "collected secret information" about the manufacturer Uralvagonzavod, a facility in the region that produces and repairs military equipment. It added that "illegal actions were carried out by Gershkovich in compliance with careful measures of secrecy."

“Your mission Evan, should you choose to accept it, is to spy on Russia for the CIA. As always, should you or any of your Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This flash drive will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Evan.”
The IDIOT goes to a military factory and starts trying to interview workers as they leave. Perhaps he was just trying to get a scoop, or maybe he was a spy, either way he DEFINITELY is an IDIOT.
Oy veh.
Yeah, kinda moronic. Off the charts stupid for people with family connections to a place to do that. Both his parents were Russian immigrants to America in 1979. Reminds me of people who are Iranian-America going back to Iran and being surprised when the Iranian government ignores the “American” part.
Interestingly, Yekaterinburg was called Sverdlovsk in the Soviet era. That’s where Gary Powers U-2 was shot down.
Anybody know if the trial will be public? Or will it just be done in secret and the sentence announced publicly?
Silly liberals think their “PRESS” passes impress dictators. Guess they have to learn the hard way.
OF COURSE he wasn’t agency;
