. >> reporter: alsu kurmasheva of radio free europe/radio liberty is among the reporters detained in >> this sends a powerful message to all journalists that they are not welcome. >> reporter: is there a chilling effect? >> yes, because there is a concern that journalists may be arrested. >> reporter: a reporter, evan gershkovich, is also a prisoner and pawn for putin. >> here we are. doing the one-year anniversary. it's grotesque. >> it is. it's completely outrageous, and this represents a very clear and present danger, and it's something that we need to speak out against. >> reporter: detained in russia coming up on "sunday morning." >>> from his early days writing jokes for the smothers brothers to stand-up comedy, movies and now a hit series, steve martin is nothing less than a legend. this morning he is looking back with our tracy smith. >> have i started yet? let's go. >> reporter: could you at least pat yourself on the back a little bit and say, look at what i have done? >> sometimes i do look around and go, how did this happen? my most self-congratulatory moment, it all came

her husband, pavo bu taurine, is a senior journalist at radio free europe. pavel and his eldest daughter beebe, who's 15, join us now. thank you so much for being here. i appreciate it, and powerful winds. the last time you heard from your wife, how she doing the last time i heard else's voice was on october 18 i received a voice message from her she said in a very troubled voice, i'm being taken away. that was last time we heard her voice. >> i can't imagine what you're going through. bibi and being being 15 years old and having this happen, i see you're wearing the free i'll sue penn. i got one here to tell us what you just told him up there. tell us what do you ms most about your mom? >> well, it's extremely heartbreaking that she's not with us. i haven't seen her for an extremely long time. honestly, i ms hugging her. i ms her touch. i ms the jokes you would make, she is truly the most care an empathetic person i know. and it's absolutely unfair and unbelievable that she is in this position right now. >> it's you and your little sister? >> yeah. i have a

then in an interview with radio free europe in mid—december, you said, "i've not refused to pardon himk. it's a question mark. the former us ambassador to russia, michael mcfaul, said that saakashvili's death injail would be a victory for putin and a blow to georgian democracy. is he right? i don't think he will die in prison. i'm trying to and i will oversee until the end that this doesn't happen, because i agree that that would be a terrible blow for georgia's reputation, which we cannot let happen. that's why i was in daily contact with all the authorities involved, to be sure that nothing of that kind would be happening. but at the same time, there are other ways. the government is directly responsible, thejustice minister. the possibility of extradition is still there... ukraine and poland have said they'll take him. yeah, so that's the government's responsibility. is that the route you think will happen? it might. just a final thought. we're talking about georgia — because of geography, because of politics — being almost at a pivot point. is that how you see it with the elections

even spend money on it, well... they thought again that the americans with the present time and radio free europeything for them, well that's wrong, but i have a couple of ideas , i will share with you when we meet in person, i have a gorgeous one idea, but i have a different question, now it is being discussed that people who are sitting in prisons can be taken by the army, i will say right away that i feel that someone is sitting not with you, someone says that they were criticized in russia? they do it themselves here, we are preparing for a draft law, there is a discussion, mr. vadim and i are going to discuss now, it is not like putin said: go and take them, and how will i take them, but take them, and i will do something later i will sign, and there will be my decree, these are different things, but is it correct in principle, i would tell all the detractors that either the second or the third punic i am a war, that is, it is rome against carthage, they have already taken people from prisons, that is , it was not invented yesterday and not the day before yesterday, but it was, that is, this

possibility of military intervention, and there were no sanctions, but he demands that radio liberty, radio free europelude no calls for military action, no calls for violence, and nothing that would give the rebels the feeling that america is behind them. this is what president renhaur was like; i don’t have to tell you his role in america in terms of organizing victory against nazism. 1968 , an event in... they were judged by the american administration, president lyndon johnson, but privately the soviet leadership assured them that, as they say, it’s a pity that this happened, but life goes on, and we need to look for opportunities to work together. richard nixon, richard nixon was a man who together with... jews who wanted to leave, but at the same time, russian dissidents themselves. nixon could not, to some extent, ignore this pressure, because there was the notorious jackson amendment, which simply limited the possibilities of american trade, american loans to the soviet union, unless relatively free emigration was allowed. to meet the pressure, he was able to meet the request, and indeed tens o

. >> reporter: butorin and kurmasheva are both journalists with the prague-based radio free europe radioerty, or rferl. it's funded by u.s. taxpayers but is editorially independent and reports news in 27 languages and 23 countries, including iran and afghanistan. >> when freedom of expression is being shut down in one place after another after another, when the lights are turned out in one place we turn them back on. >> reporter: steve cappish is president. >> our place is committed to the fundamental practice of accurate journalism where it might not otherwise be practiced these days. >> does that put your people in particular risk? >> it does. >> reporter: cappish, who's worked at cbs and nbc, keeps photos of kurmasheva and three other rferl journalists who are currently detained. one in russian-controlled crimea and two in belarus. next to pictures of reporters who've died while on duty. >> it has a way of kind of grabbing you and making you pay attention and realize there's an awful lot at stake here now and never forget that they need to come home. >> they're in regular contact with

vladimir kara-murza, washington post contributing columnist whose sense to 25 years in prison radio free europe, radio liberty, dual citizen. i'll sue chroma shiva and countless others. so yeah, putin may think he's winning in the short term but in the long term, all dictators eventually lose. in the long term and the moral arc of the universe, which bends towards justice is martin luther king said journalism is not a crime in the universal sense, though it may be criminal in russia right now, what do you think the prospects are for evan gi well, i think the good news for evan and his family and his colleagues is that >> we have seen that even though us-russia relations are in a low point, even though there's a war going on, these deals can get done and they operate somewhat on a separate track, largely in private for good reason so there is a pattern and a history of these deals getting done even under these crazy circumstances where these two countries otherwise don't really talk to each other. the bad news is that it's going to likely take a while because putins pattern is that's a maximize

for you and everybody had cnn for shining a light on evans case, but also paul whelan and the radio free europe journalists, also, corman shaver, who is also being held in russia right now look, i think these anniversaries or grim reminder of an justice against one of our own. i experienced a year marker while i was sitting in prison in iran keeping hope is a really hard thing to do because there's really no good news until you get on a plane and come home but i think that the reality is these cases are dragging on a long time. and i think it's just a gentle, just an important reminder that we need to be doing more and more quickly to bring american hostages home wherever they are in the world. >> when you see the pictures that we get to see as he has, these occasional court appearances where they're really just extending his pretrial detention and you see in a way, this look on evans face what are you reading into that almost sort of an inactive, very subtle defiance >> i know that look, i gave that look. evan understands very well that he is being subjected to not only an incredible abuse of

radio liberty free europe since then, this terrorist international has steadily existed hand in handge customer, so we can still say with confidence that the cia and mi6 are behind all this, so the cia refused to cooperate, and we already know even from the american press that accurate information was not provided, the new york times about this he said it quite clearly, but the ukrainians were really used directly. suffers from it, we understand the russians, of course, this is a terrible attack, but now imagine, they say that there are tajiks from the middle east, you organize a group of several people who are looking for work , tell them: here i will give you so many rubles , we saw in the video how they moved, very professionally, so you make a group of professional stormtroopers out of them and carry out this action, it is obvious that to carry out such a professional action without the support of the intelligence of any state is impossible , or several states , it doesn’t matter, in other words, gil could not do it alone, this is the main problem of the present time, this is the

elsa from radio free europe who is accused of supporting ukraine, again, by the sfb.nia karolina of california, again, denies she was supporting ukraine, but accused of making donations. again, it's the former kgb, the notorious former kgb prison. this is really all about the extent to which president putin is in charge of a country where the most powerful organizations in the country are the fsb, the svr. in fact, it's pretty clear, pretty obvious, what they want to do is swap evan for others held. particularly, at this stage, it looks like a russian held in germany serving a life sentence, a sentence for murder, who is an sfb officer. >> they keep seizing americans. "wall street journal" had a great story yesterday about that, how putin keeps using americans and uses them as pawns, innocent americans, to get the worst actors out of prison. i don't know if you had a chance to see any of the netflix series "turning point," but for those that have not, it is a great reminder, especially for younger americans, to understand just how brutal, how savage the reign of stali
