Evan Gershkovich is perhaps the best-known American currently in a Russian jail, but he is not the only one. Negotiations for prisoners' releases appear stagnant.
Arrests of Americans in Russia have become increasingly common as relations between Moscow and Washington sink to Cold War lows. Washington accuses Moscow of targeting its citizens and using them as political bargaining chips, but Russian officials insist they all broke the law.
Some have been exchanged for Russians held in the U.S., while for others, the prospects of being released in a swap are less clear.
