Russian TV journalist Ksenia Sobchak announced last month that
she will run to be president of Russia at elections due in March
2018. She is the daughter of the late Anatoly Sobchak who was
Mayor of St Petersburg in the 1990s and was a mentor to Vladimir
Putin when he was starting in politics. Ksenia Sobchak says the
situation in Russia is unjust and although it would be unlikely
she could beat President Putin if he decides to run again she
hopes to build a strong democratic coalition capable of winning
at the following election.
