介绍： Something rare happened in Russia today. Facing a huge public outcry and protest demonstrations, the government dropped criminal charges against an investigative journalist. Police had arrested the reporter, Ivan Golunov, late Thursday on what were widely seen as trumped-up drug charges. Immediately, fellow journalists, including some at state-supported media, rallied to his cause. They were joined by Russian celebrities, who criticized abuse by the security services. Evan Gershkovich of the Moscow Times has been following this story. He is on the line now from Moscow. Hey there.
EVAN GERSHKOVICH: Hi, Mary Louise. Thanks for having me.
KELLY: So for Americans who may not know who Ivan Golunov is, tell me a little bit about him and his work that might have set this chain of events in motion.
GERSHKOVICH: So Ivan for the past about 10 years has been one of Russia's foremost investigative journalists. And a recent story that he was working on that he did in 2018 was on corruption in the funeral business. And he was currently working on a follow-up story that he'd been doing for the past several months.

今天，俄罗斯发生了一件罕见的事。由于面临大规模的公众责难和抗议示威，俄罗斯政府撤销了对一名调查记者的刑事指控。上周四，俄罗斯警方以涉毒罪逮捕了记者伊万·戈卢诺夫，但外界普遍认为这一罪名是捏造的。他的记者同行随即开始声援他的事业，一些国家支持媒体的记者也参与其中。多名俄罗斯名人也指责安全服务机构滥用职权。《莫斯科时报》的伊万·戈什科维奇一直在追踪这起事件。现在他将从莫斯科和我们连线。你好。
伊万·戈什科维奇：你好，玛丽·路易斯。谢谢你们邀请我。
凯利：美国民众可能并不了解伊万·戈卢诺夫，请你简单介绍一下他以及他的工作，因为引发这一系列事件的可能就是他的工作。
戈什科维奇：过去10年来，伊万一直是俄罗斯最知名的调查记者之一。他在2018年进行的一项调查涉及殡葬业存在的腐败问题。他目前正在对过去数个月所做的调查进行追踪报道。
