From “defecating squirrels”, White Parrots and 4-hour Putin press conferences to racing round the globe, being questioned by Russian police and repeatedly harassed by state TV crews, Our Man In Moscow charts 12 months in the life of the BBC’s Moscow team and Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg – most of it shot ourselves given no other BBC teams could get into Russia. For those in the UK, you can watch it at 8pm on BBC1 tonight or right now on iPlayer: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…
