Marc Fogel, an American schoolteacher who has been incarcerated in Russia since 2021, has returned to the U.S. after the White House successfully negotiated his release. Fogel, Pennsylvania native, had been serving a 14-year sentence after being arrested at a Russian airport with a small amount of medical cannabis.
In the prison camp, Fogel grappled with both the monotony of his days and a huge guilt for what his family was going through. His time in prison was spent by growing radishes, pacing the prison yard, and reading the few English books available in the library--Dr. Zhivago, Moby Dick, and Anna Karenina—again and again. For months, he taught his cellmates English, and in return, they allowed him to make calls home using the prepaid cellphones they had smuggled in.
