Sergei Guriev is one of modern Russia's best and brightest
economists. Well connected to the new Russian political elite,
Guriev was a strong voice for economic liberalisation and is a
Russian patriot. So why, earlier this year, did he choose - as so
many talented Russians have in the past - to go into exile? And
what does Guriev's extraordinary story tell us about the true
face of Vladimir Putin's Russia?
