@Thriley: Please supply a QPQ for this nom. Thanks. Z1720 (talk) 14:50, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Thriley and К.Артём.1: New enough and long enough. QPQ supplied 14:22, 19 July and added to the nomination. There is an expand tag on the article. It looks like ruwiki has more text to offer and an image of the subject. The hook tracks but is a bit wordy the way it came out, so I'm suggesting an ALT0a (the "on espionage charges" part can be removed). You will need to port more of the ruwiki page over such that the expand tag is not merited. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:04, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ALT0a: ... that Russian scientist Dmitry Kolker was arrested on espionage charges while being treated for terminal cancer at a hospital and flown to Moscow, dying two days later?

@Sammi Brie: Note that Expand language tags are not orange tags and thus are not considered disqualifying for DYK articles. It is permitted for DYK-nominated articles to have Expand language tags. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:50, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In that event, a tick should be granted. However, I still encourage the editors to port over more of the ruwiki page. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 16:05, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
