Bonus: The BBC’s Russia Editor on Life in Moscow

After listener Margaret got in touch asking about Steve
Rosenberg’s life in Moscow as the BBC’s Russia Editor, Nick and
Amol sat down with him to find out how the country has changed
over the years that he has lived there and what it’s like
reporting from Russia now.


They talk about the challenges he faces, how he reports
impartially and accurately on Vladimir Putin, how he relaxes and
what it was like playing the piano for Mikhail Gorbachev.
