Synopsis

James Rodgers was a foreign correspondent based in Moscow in the periods 1991-1993; 1998-2000 and 2006-2009. As such, he witnessed Russias transformation from the Soviet Union to todays Putin State. Each of those periods, from the 1980s until today, saw significantly different conditions for western journalists working in Russia: their treatment by the Russian authorities symptomatic of the Kremlins relations with the west at any given time. Assignment Moscow analyses the news coverage of Russia throughout history, from the revolutionary year of 1917 to Russia under Stalin, World War Two, the Cold War and Putin's Russia. James Rodgers contributes to a more nuanced and contextual understanding of the story of Russia.
