Tuckums, a staunch defender of Vladimir Putin while attacking his Western critics, is at the vanguard of a pro-Putin wing of the American conservative movement and is being escorted around Moscow in a black Mercedes van.

On television and online, Russian state media has treated Mr. Carlson as a visiting celebrity, offering a stream of photos and videos of his various stops — arriving at the airport, dining at a restaurant, taking in the “Spartacus” ballet at the Bolshoi Theater.

In one video in wide circulation, including on X, Mr. Tucker told a self-professed fan that he was there because “I wanted to talk to people and look around and see how it was doing — and it’s doing very well.”

Gee, most visitors from the West have to worry about being disappeared and finding themselves imprisoned on spying charges for the rest of their lives. Evan Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal reporter, has been in jail for nearly a year.

Tuckums, though, is treated to fine dining and a box at the “Spartacus” ballet at the Bolshoi Theater.

Umm.
