Her lawyers confirmed she is being held in IK-2 women's penal colony in the remote village of Yavas in Mordovia, 500km (310 miles) south-east of the capital.
At one point her lawyers didn’t even know where she ended up. I felt a really strange sense of relief hearing she was moved to an all-women’s colony and they didn’t try to pass her off into a prison with men in it because of how tall she is.
God I hope we hear something positive before the New Year.
Assuming negotiations of any sort really are taking place, I do wonder if the US State Dept downplaying what the Russian State said really means what it means on its face. At this stage of this whole thing, I’m not assuming anything to necessarily mean what it means, for better or worse.
We’re probably all gonna wake up one day (someday?) to news of a reached deal when we least expect it.
