About

The BBC Moscow correspondent, Sarah Rainsford was expelled in 2021 as a national security threat, given only three weeks to leave. Her very personal account looks at Russia’sslide from democracy and provides a warning of where the crushing of liberties could lead - including a ruinous invasion of Ukraine. She will focus on the extraordinary people she has encountered, from the Russians such as Boris Nemtsov and Alexei Navalny who paid with their lives for challenging Putin, to the Ukrainians she found burying their dead in Bucha. It is also her own, personal reckoning with Russia: a country she saw emerge from decades of authoritarian rule in the 1990s to now be quashed.
