The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Russia's charges of espionage against Evan Gershkovich are baseless and nothing more than an attack on journalism and dissent. He is being wrongfully detained and the US government is doing everything in its power to have him released.

Pro-Russia narrative

Russia is acting in full accordance with local and international law with respect to Evan Gershkovich. It will not tolerate attempts from the US government to exert unjustified pressure on Russia over the handling of the case.
