President's Authority To Free Radek


Since when does the President Of The United States have the authority to free an inmate in a Russian prison?

reply

He doesn't. He had to ask the Russian President to release him.

reply

Russia would only have done this in the brief period between the fall of the U.S.S.R. in 1991 and the bombing of Serbia in 1999. No way would they have cooperated after that point, even under Yeltsin. After Putin comes on the scene forget about it..
