  1. Serves him right for going over there. He's an ethnic Russian, speaks fluent Russian and was working for Russia's enemies…so of course they would detain him.

  2. I don’t get it it. Everyone saw what happened to that girl basketball player in Russia and what it took to get her out. So why did Evan stay in Russia and take the risk of getting the same treatment as her? All Americans should leave Russia ASAP.

  3. Whoever news outlets sent this guy to Russia amidst this chaos relationship between USA and Russia really set him for failure.
    Hopefully there have another arm dealer to trade with him for.

  4. Why are you asking me who this man is? I never heard nor seen this “journalist” a day in my life. You could tell me anything and expect me to nod my head in agreement.

  5. "Who he was" They talk about like he is dead or some

  6. He had a Russian last name
