Friends of American journalist Evan Gershkovich describe his life before he was arrested and put in one of Russia's most notorious prisons
His supporters are demanding his release from Russian custody as the US journalist is currently held inFormer prisoners and those who visited the notorious Russian prison recalled harrowing experiences of isolation — a stark contrast to the life the US journalist was living in New York and Russia before his arrest.
He recounted the biking trips that he would go on with Gershkovich, including a three-day trip through Long Island and Connecticut. "He just has this infectious personality and he wants to share everything with you if you're in his orbit," Berke said."He has a really unique way of drawing people in that I think few people in the world share."After Gershkovich graduated from Bowdoin, where he studied philosophy and English, he worked as a news assistant at The New York Times and a reporter for the Moscow Times and AFP before joining the Journal to cover Russia and Ukraine.
"I'm like dealing with the fact that I'm physically disoriented, and this happens and it's like, 'This a dream, right? Like this can't be real,'" he said.
