  Receives 8 years of what? That is much less clear.

    Free ice cream. “Receives $X years” Is an idiomatic way of expressing prison terms. Same kind of thing as saying “20 to life”.

      It might be idiomatic to you, but it looks bizarre to me. I am a native English speaker.

      I suspect this is a regional thing. I would never use this supposed idiom and it sounds very off to me.

  That misses out the crucial point that he isn't actually in Russia, and therefore presumably won't serve any of those eight years.
