One must understand the difference between these two terms as well. Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than 10,000. ‘Now all the citizens of the country become potential targets for charges of espionage and high treason,’ said Gudkov, a government critic who was recently expelled from parliament for allegedly running a private business while serving as a lawmaker, a charge he denied. Espionage and Treason are both terms that require a thorough understanding. Markov said the bill is not aimed at suppressing the opposition and dissent, because ‘it makes no sense to accuse them of spy activities unless they are really guilty.’ But former lawmaker Gennady Gudkov noted that legislators in what he called ‘the Kremlin’s pocket parliament’ continue to approve one bill after another in a government strategy to curb the growing protest movement and reduce foreign influence in Russia, a effort he dismissed as shortsighted. Espionage, also known as spying, is criminalized at 18 U.S.C.
