  1. Russia goes on without the World Cup

    17/07/2018

    Russia goes on without the World Cup

    It's proshchay with a series of politically sensitive interviews about the current state of Russia and how it's ruled. In one case we've had to alter voices to protect identities, conducted the interviews in London and held off until things had quietened down. An illuminating final episode of the World Cup Road Trip and an insight into the country few expected to hold it.   Articles TIME: Who is Bill Browder?

    Love England but can't stand their team, with Daniel Norcross

    Francis leaves Russia looking for the England football fans. He's in London confused by his own English football team antipathy.
