In August 1914, 100 years ago, the five great powers of Europe
declared war on one another. For countries like Britain, Germany
and France the significance of World War One is regularly debated
and commemorated. But what of that other great power, Russia? It
also fought against Germany, but by the end of the war Tsar
Nicholas II and his family had been murdered and the Bolshevik
Revolution had brought Lenin to power.

How far does what was happening in Russia then, help explain what
is going on today? Zeinab Badawi talks to the renowned Russian
theatre and film director Andrei Konchalovsky.
