Marc Fogel, an American who had been held in Russia since 2021, landed back in the US on Tuesday.
Fogel, a history teacher who worked at the Anglo-American school in Moscow, returned to the US after his release with the Trump government after his release from Russia.
He served a 14 -year prison sentence after his arrest in August 2021 at a Russian airport for possession of drugs, of which his family said he was prescribed medical marijuana.
