"U.S. citizens residing or travelling in Russia should depart immediately," the US Mission Russia said in an updated travel advisory issued by the US State Department. "Exercise increased caution due to the risk of wrongful detentions," it said. 


"Russian security services have arrested U.S. citizens on spurious charges, singled out U.S. citizens in Russia for detention and harassment, denied them fair and transparent treatment, and convicted them in secret trials or without presenting credible evidence."

Possibly encouraged by the release of a top prize like Viktor Bout?

 

Russia wanted Viktor Bout back, badly. The question is: Why?   WaPost

 

"There is little doubt that Bout is a top prize for Russian officials ..."

Bout was low level after his prison sentence and of no value for arms smuggling. He will be tracked by the CIA for the rest of his life. This is why the Russians were willing to trade him for a basketball player but retained other more valuable American prisoners.
