Rachel Maddow talks with American journalist Evan Gershkovich, author of the new book, "This Cursed Beautiful Land," about his incarceration in Russia as part of a ploy by Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate the release of a Russian assassin held in Germany, and how he treated his captivity as a reporting opportunity and a rare window on the inner workings of Russian autocracy.
