Friends reflect on the Wall Street Journal reporter who became the first American journalist detained in Russia on espionage charges since the end of the Cold War
friends back home are grappling with how the achievement of his American dream could lead him into such a nightmare. Gershkovich is so gregarious, one jokes, that he resembled a golden retriever; a former roommate says he had a habit of banging pots and pans early on weekend mornings to rouse friends to hang out. Now he faces an uncertain fate almost entirely alone, in a prison infamous for its isolation.
Gershkovich went to Bowdoin College, where he made a close-knit group of friends before graduating in 2014. He soon landed a job at The New York, where he worked as an assistant to the public editor at the time, Margaret Sullivan, in a role that involved sorting through correspondence and helping her determine what to cover.
