《华尔街日报》记者埃文·格什科维奇被俄罗斯拘留一年多，后于2024年通过大规模囚犯交换获释。周四，他接受《福克斯与朋友》采访时谈到了自己在俄罗斯被捕的经历。
Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was detained by Russia for more than a year before being freed in a massive prisoner swap in 2024, spoke to "Fox & Friends" on Thursday about his arrest in Russia. Gershkovich discussed his new book, "This Cursed Beautiful Land," a firsthand account of the ordeal.
格什科维奇介绍了他的新书《这片遭诅咒的美丽土地》，这是一部亲历记。
"I and a colleague of mine were reporting on basically how Russia was prepping to defend.
“我和一名同事当时基本是在报道俄罗斯如何准备防御。他们正在把经济转入战时状态，而我当时正与一名同事的消息人士会面，我们认为此人身份可靠。到那时，我们已经与这个人交谈了四年，结果发现那是个圈套。”格什科维奇告诉《福克斯与朋友》，并讲述了自己是如何被错误拘留的。
They were changing their economy to a military footing, and I was meeting with a source of a colleague of mine who we thought was legitimate. We had been speaking to him for four years at that point, and it turned out it was a setup," Gershkovich told "Fox & Friends," describing how he ended up being wrongfully detained. Host Brian Kilmeade pointed to an excerpt in the book that described Gershkovich's realization that the men arresting him were from the FSB, the successor to the Soviet-era KGB, and not just police. "At that moment, when you hear FSB, you understand that, as I write, it's not a misunderstanding," Gershkovich said.
主持人布赖恩·吉尔米德指向书中的一段文字，称这段内容描述了格什科维奇意识到逮捕他的人来自联邦安全局，而非普通警察。联邦安全局是苏联时期克格勃的继承机构。
"When it's the FSB, you understand it's a high-level planned operation.
“那一刻，当你听到‘联邦安全局’时，你就会明白，正如我在书中写的那样，这不是误会，”格什科维奇说，“当联邦安全局介入时，你就明白，这是一场高层策划的行动。他们给我套上头套，把我带上一辆面包车，问我为谁工作。我说《华尔街日报》，他们又给我套上头套，安全人员猛击我的腹部，随后再把头套摘下来，又问我为谁工作。到这时我才恍然大悟：好吧，他们是在指控我从事间谍活动。”
And I'm taken out in a hood to a van, asked who I work for, I say the Wall Street Journal, the hood comes back on, my midsection is pummeled by the security agents, hood comes back off, they ask who I work for, and that's when it dawns on me, that OK they're accusing me of espionage." He said he was "obviously" scared at that point, and said, "When I get to the station, they just calmly hand me my charges, and they tell me I'm accused of espionage," Gershkovich said.
他说，那种情况下他“显然”很害怕，并表示：“当我到了警察局，他们只是平静地把指控书交给我，告诉我我被指控犯有间谍罪。”格什科维奇说。
"And there's also this moment that obviously the source, Pavel, stepping away out into the crowd. At that point, I realized, oh, this was a setup and this was a setup for a swap, clearly," he continued.
“此外，还有一个moment——显然，消息人士帕维尔当时正转身走向人群。就在那一刻，我意识到，哦，这是一场圈套，而且显然是一场为交换而设下的圈套。”他继续说。
US MARINE VETERAN RELEASED FROM RUSSIAN PRISON AFTER 1,666 DAYS OF DETENTION Gershkovich, 34, was arrested on March 29, 2023, while reporting on a trip to the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg and accused of espionage.
美国海军陆战队退伍军人在被俄罗斯关押1666天后获释现年34岁的格尔什科维奇于2023年3月29日在乌拉尔山脉城市叶卡捷琳堡进行采访旅行时被捕，并被指控犯有间谍罪。拜登政府宣布他被“错误羁押”，《华尔街日报》和美国政府均坚决否认这一指控，该指控被普遍谴责为变相绑架记者的拙劣伎俩。
The Biden administration declared him "wrongfully detained," and The Wall Street Journal and U.S. government both emphatically denied the charge, which was widely condemned as a thinly disguised effort to take the reporter hostage. After more than a year of delays, he was convicted in 2024 in a closed court of "gathering secret information" and sentenced to 16 years at a penal colony.
经过一年多的拖延，他于2024年在一次闭门庭审中被裁定“搜集秘密情报”罪名成立，并被判处在劳役营服刑16年。《华尔街日报》领导层猛烈抨击了这一“虚假定罪”，并多次呼吁立即释放他，而他的朋友、家人和新闻界则努力让公众持续关注他的遭遇。
Wall Street Journal leaders blasted the "sham conviction" and repeatedly called for his immediate release while his friends, family and the journalism community worked to keep his name in the spotlight. FREED MARINE RETURNS HOME 'VERY FRAIL' AFTER RUSSIAN 'NIGHTMARE' AS FAMILY ADVOCATE URGES TRUMP TO FREE OTHERS Kilmeade asked Gershkovich to describe the moment that almost broke him while in a Russian prison.
获释的海军陆战队员在经历俄罗斯“噩梦”后回国，身体“非常虚弱”，家属代言人敦促特朗普释放其他人基尔米德请格尔什科维奇描述在俄罗斯监狱中差点将他击垮的时刻。
He said he could see what the Biden administration was trying to do to bring him home through a potential prisoner exchange involving the U.S., Russia and Germany.
他说，他能看出拜登政府试图通过涉及美国、俄罗斯和德国的潜在换囚协议将他接回国内。
美国前海军陆战队员在俄罗斯监狱陷入木僵状态数周后濒临死亡格尔什科维奇说：“那是在冬天前后，一项协议开始成型：同样在俄罗斯因间谍罪被捕的保罗·惠兰和我将被交换，或者说会向俄罗斯提出一项协议，即释放我和保罗·惠兰以及已故反对派领袖阿列克谢·纳瓦利内，而曾在德国被捕并在当地被判处终身监禁的俄罗斯联邦安全局（FSB）刺客瓦季姆·克拉西科夫则将返回俄罗斯。”
AMERICAN EX-MARINE FEARED NEAR DEATH AFTER WEEKS IN CATATONIC STATE IN RUSSIAN PRISON "It's around the winter where a deal is starting to come together where Paul Whelan, who was also arrested on espionage charges in Russia, and myself are going to be traded for, or a deal would be put to the Russians for myself and Paul Whelan and the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny to be released from Russia, and Vadim Krasikov, the FSB assassin who had been arrested in Germany and was convicted to life in prison there, would be going back to Russia," Gershkovich said. However, he said that while he was out on a walk, he heard on the radio that Navalny had been killed.
然而他说，当他在户外散步时，从收音机里听到了纳瓦利内遇害的消息。
"I'm out on a walk, it's February. It's really cold. We usually get to listen to a news station called Relax FM.
“我正在外面散步，那是二月。天气非常寒冷。我们通常会收听一个叫‘放松电台’（Relax FM）的新闻台。我们听着音乐。突然，电台切换了。它转到了新闻台，播报说阿列克谢·纳瓦利内已被杀害。在那一刻，我感到无比凄凉。我想，‘好吧，我现在肯定回不了家了，’”他说。
We listen to music. Suddenly the radio station changes. It switches to the news station and it's announced that Alexei Navalny has been killed.
格什科维奇与前美国海军陆战队员保罗·惠伦最终在2024年8月的一次大规模多国囚犯交换行动中获得释放。
At that moment, it's really bleak for me. I think, 'Okay, there's no way I'm getting home now,'" he said.
