Among those freed were Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former US marine Paul Whelan, who were each serving 16 year sentences for espionage. In the other direction, Russian opposition […] The post Historic US-Russia prisoner swap exposes CIA support for Chechen jihad first appeared on The Grayzone.
