This person was a russia correspondent for the WSJ for years, and lives in Russia to do that work.

This was not some spy sent to infiltrate Russian military facilities.

This was a journalist writing news the exact same way they have been for the better part of a decade.

The idea that the arrest of a journalist for doing journalism is the fault of the journalist and not the authoritarian dictatorship is absurd.
