  "account": "Evan Gershkovich, a journalist for The Wall Street Journal, was imprisoned in Russia's Lefórtovo prison for 491 days on false espionage charges. During his incarceration, he gathered information for a book, \"Esta tierra hermosa y maldita\", by interviewing his jailers, investigator, and cellmates. Using his reporting skills, Gershkovich observed, asked questions, and listened to gain insight into the Russian system. His experience as a prisoner, where he was known as Vania, and his life as a free journalist, as Evan, are now part of his published account.",
  "summary": "During his imprisonment, he saw an opportunity to observe the Russian system from within, and when he was released, he was able to explain it.",
