Vitaly Muzichenko:

Is a statement of fact a bad thing?

It is normal.

Дмитрий:

I don't remember any composers, scientists or great chess players

But there's a great boxer. :)))

khorosh:
Well, to foreigners, all Russian citizens are Russians. And they deport our citizens who find themselves abroad to an American prison on the slightest pretext.

No.

In order for any country to deport a foreign national to the US, you need full legal justification.

I only know Booth. Who do you know?

Some of them were not deported, but they were arrested in the USA.

Some of them admitted their guilt.

I don't see "on the slightest of occasions" here.

Guilty pleas are often just because they get a shorter sentence.

They often admit guilt just because they give a shorter sentence.

But an admission of guilt cuts off the possibility of appeal if you think you are innocent.

The same Bout - he was not only investigated in the US, but also in Europe. His name was in the reports of the UN Security Council and international organizations before his arrest.

It is hard to believe that the Russian courts will be objective, given the Russophobic hysteria that is reigning there now. It is ridiculous when Bout is added to his sentence for drinking tea mushrooms in his cell.
