indeed, when boris nemtsov was assassinated and many critics of putin said that putin was behind it, you said absolutely not, that is not what vladimir putin would do. why do you defend him in this way? i'm not defending him, i'm just telling the truth. even if it's political, not unsuitable, i really think that putin didn't say to anyone to kill nemtsov. how do you know? i know that it's beyond what he would decide, and so he was not an enemy. how do you know? how do you know that? i'm just totally sure about the principles on which they stand. he would never say it like this. in the end, ms sobchak won just 1.7% of the vote in that 2018 election. putin romped home with 77%, and ms sobchak has since been reminded of the need for constant loyalty. last 0ctober, she briefly fled russia as three employees of her media company were arrested on suspicion of extortion. on suspicion of extortion, and when she returned home, she had to issue a fulsome apology. of all the interviewees in this programme, one is imprisoned, two are in exile, and two are dead. to stand up to vladimir putin mean

how unusual was that foeradimir putin? very unusual, the first time it has happened, and it makes you wonder about the psychology of power in russia because vladimir putin only uttered the name of his most vocal and popular rival after he died. perhaps it shows how confident putin is, how emboldened he is and how determined he is to continue what he has been doing for more than 20 years now. you used the word emboldened, and he has spoken about ukraine following this election result. how does ukraine factor into this election? it was central to vladimir putin's platform. he kept talking about how russia is fighting for its survival, how it is surrounded by enemies. the idea that russia needs to wage what vladimir putin calls a special military operation, it was a cornerstone of his platform, it reinforces a feeling of besieged fortress, and of course it also is a distraction from whatever domestic problems russians might face at home. let's look at the middle east now — and our correspondent anna foster is in eastjerusal

vladimir putin. you've managed to survive as the bbc�*s russia editor working there, saying things which the kremlin must absolutely hate, from time to time. over the next year or so, will you be able to talk out as freely as you have, or will you have to, do you think, be more careful? vladimir putin used to talk a lot about stability, but there's no stability now or predictability. so who knows what's going to happen here over the next few months, what new laws will be passed. but i think one thing is clear — that having secured this fifth presidential term, vladimir putin will be determined to cement his power, his authority. there were some incredible headlines in the papers here after the election.

expect a putin landslide. unpredictability is very much a feature of life now in russia, but that does not apply to elections. the political system here is built around one man, vladimir putin, and the kremlin tightly controls that system, including elections. so mr putin's re—election is not in doubt. it's absolutely impossible to say about our presidential election that this election is fair and free. politician boris nadezhdin had tried to get on the ballot but was barred from running, he claims, because his calls to end the war were becoming popular. we have propaganda and we have a myth that everybody in russia supports putin, and everybody in russia supports the special military operation. it's really not the fact. and my election campaign showed that a lot of people are against putin's politics and a lot of people are against the special military operation. you won't hear the kremlin saying that. this is an election designed to show that vladimir putin has the full support of his people. steve rosenbe

a couple of weeks ago putin killed alexei navalny. there have been almost no serious consequences, and so putin is now flexing his muscles outside the country and this is what putin does, he doesn't just target one person, he targets everyone around them and this volkov attack is clearly the result of some type of russian operation ordered by vladimir putin and those around him. is the broader worry that it shows putin's reach and it also shows he is acting with total impunity if this is him? the impunity problem is really very serious. we all knew when he killed alexei navalny that was a huge red line. navalny is a major opposition politician and by killing him putin basically told the world he could kill the most important and popular opposition politician and nothing would happen. and effectively nothing has happened. we have sanctioned a fewjail officials from the prison where navalny was kept but... and now he is empowered, putin is empowered to go around outside russia and attack his enemies. and leonid volkov is one of his enem
