节目制作人：俄罗斯持续延长对《华尔街日报》记者埃文·格什科维奇的拘留时间，他已被关押在莫斯科的列福尔托沃监狱一年。事件凸显了俄罗斯对记者的镇压和国际外交的复杂性。 Valerie Hopkins：2022年3月初，俄罗斯政府通过了几项审查法案，使得在俄罗斯做记者变得非常危险，导致大多数记者离开了俄罗斯。格什科维奇对自己的工作抱有强烈的使命感，认为在莫斯科报道具有重要的历史意义，他曾报道了俄罗斯在基辅战役中大量伤亡的情况，这与俄罗斯官方说法相悖。俄罗斯政府本可以选择不延长格什科维奇的记者证，但他们选择以间谍罪逮捕他，这是一种升级行为，具有震慑作用。在俄罗斯做记者是有风险的，她曾考虑过被监禁的可能性。 Gordon Fairclough：《华尔街日报》撤回了驻俄罗斯的首席记者，目前尚不清楚何时才能安全地派记者返回俄罗斯。 Gulnoza Said：俄罗斯政府将格什科维奇作为筹码用于谈判，并参考了其他记者被扣押的案例，强调持续关注案件的重要性。 Dan Storiev：俄罗斯对记者的镇压日益升级，许多记者因反战活动而受到迫害。克里姆林宫正在采取类似苏联的做法，对任何人都可以随意提出指控。 Maria Kuznetsova：俄罗斯对违反“假新闻”法和“诋毁俄军”的人提出了大量指控，即使是看似无害的行为，如发布和平标志或阅读托尔斯泰的《战争与和平》，也可能被俄罗斯当局视为“诋毁俄军”。 Emma Tucker：格什科维奇只是在进行正常的新闻报道工作，他被俄罗斯政府扣为人质。 Andrey Asayev：俄罗斯官方媒体将格什科维奇描绘成已被定罪的间谍，否认其无罪推定权，并认为格什科维奇是敌对国家间谍。
