Nicholas Daniloff, a retired journalist who was arrested by the KGB on espionage charges in 1986, speaks with CNN’s Jake Tapper about his experience and its parallels with the case of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich. #CNN #News
Journalist arrested by KGB during Cold War weighs in on detained WSJ reporter
Hoping for a safe return for this fellow.
In 20 years.
@samiha med Freeing the journalist will not help those who suffer at the hands of the Kremlin in Russia, as well as the citizens of Ukraine, we must overthrow Putin’s regime, as he is a danger to Europe
The constant fighting and absence of legitimate governance create an environment in these territories that is extremely dangerous. Regardless of any assistance given to civilians, the chance of a safe return is slim.
Free Julian Assange the real journalist!
Well received!
nice to hear from you
I wish they showed thumbs down
Yes,I confirm.
It was nice to deal with you
Thanks a lot!

Ukraine’s total liberation from Russia is imperative in order to restore law and order. Sadly, the current situation is such that those with guns are the ones who make the rules.
Slava Russia
Slava Ukarini!!!!
Still lispin’
The Russian government detained Evan Gershkovich for suspected espionage. Evan is a journalist for the Wall Street Journal and the first American journalist since 1968 to be held in Russia on such charges.
The Soviets had every reason to suspect Danilof. He admits so himself, when he’s being honest.
By refusing to comply, Russia once again shows the world its use of terrorist tactics, not just in war but also against civilians. It’s essential to put a stop to such cases. We must stand with Ukraine in its struggle for complete freedom from Russian aggression.
Hey why dont ask Assange what he think!!….
No?…too soon?….
Well even though if they’re of Russian descent that doesn’t give him the right to arrest these people🤔
Of course, he wasn’t saying that
@Dario Vaccaro as far as I know, the journalist was writing an article about the private military company Wagner, whose head is Prigozhin, he is also close to Putin, and this was the reason for the arrest of the journalist
Regardless of any assistance extended to civilians, the chance of a secure return is very slim. There is no certainty that law enforcement agencies in Russia won’t detain you.
He not a gay, black, basketball nobody! Not a chance in hell they’ll go out of their way to get him back.
Why would any American journalist even dare being in Russia at this point?
Why does an American citizen not have the right to be in the territory of Russia, is this a reason for arrest? In this case, Russia should be completely isolated from democratic countries
That’s the job of a journalist
@Kenyatta Anderson Well they kind of are already
Time to trade a charizard for a magikarp again
The fact that whoever has the guns makes the law is a troubling trend that needs to be addressed. Military aid is the only way to save hostages, and negotiating with terrorists is pointless.
Indian people support by D Trump ❤️❤️🇮🇳
I really hope our government will do everything it can in order to not only get this guy home, but also to prevent such provocations from ever happening. If Russians still don’t understand their place – we should show them. Providing more military aid for Ukrainian army would be a great thing to do in this case. Because Putin only understands power, without being stopped by someone he won’t ever stop.
The risk of being killed or taken hostage is now as high in the territories affected by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as it is in Somalia. The ongoing fighting and lack of legitimate governance have made life in these areas perilous and unpredictable.
Mr Danilof! that shelf is going to go!
חעככהמ😢😢😮
We don’t have any war crimals to trade for him
😆
Russia just does what it wants. What happened to Evan Gershkovich is terrible
Nicholas Daniloff was my Journalism 101 professor back in 1993/1994 school year.
