‚Now I Feel Safe‘: RFE Journalist Enjoys Home After Months in Russian Detention

For long months, I followed her fate. How she traveled to Russia to care for her sick mother, how she was arrested, and how her detention kept being extended. And then, one day, the news came of a major prisoner exchange. Her name was on the list – journalist Alsu Kurmasheva (RFE/RL). She could finally go home and hug her husband and daughters. And now, she sits here in front of me. Alsu Kurmasheva is today’s special guest on Vinohradská 12.
