An American monk caught hunting in the Siberian taiga Six old religious hermits, including US citizen Stephan Kasachev, went fishing and caught 11 sturgeons. The cost of the Red Book fish was estimated at 5 million rubles, and Stepan himself, along with his friends, now faces up to eight years in prison. The American was let down not only because of hunting, but also because of his documents: his Russian visa had long since expired, and his American passport had been invalid for several years.
