Panorama

Season 2008

Episode 45: Should We Be Scared of Russia?

Mark Franchetti meets Vladimir Putin's inner circle in an attempt to decipher Russia's intentions on domestic and international fronts and how they might impact on the UK. With a reinvigorated Russia starting to flex its muscles on the world stage once more, a rift in understanding is beginning to emerge between East and West. With this in mind, and in the wake of the conflict in Georgia, Panorama questions if the world is on the verge on another cold war, or possibly worse.
