'Working in Russia is like being a deep-sea diver', BBC's man in Moscow tells RFI
How does you report on the reality of a Russia at war from its capital? Based in Moscow for more than 30 years, the BBC's Russia correspondent Steve Rosenberg is one of the few Western journalists still working in the country. He spoke to RFI about his daily life as a reporter in Russia and why he has chosen to stay, despite the Kremlin's increasing hostility to foreign media.
Russian police have arrested a minor in connection with an alleged plot to attack the Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve in Moscow, according to reports from Russian news agencies. The FSB security service stated the arrested individual is a Russian citizen who allegedly shared photos on TikTok wearing a balaclava, cap, and goggles while holding what resembled an automatic weapon.
The FSB noted the individual had posted photos taken at the museum complex with the caption "I found a place" and was allegedly subscribed to a neo-Nazi Telegram channel.
The FSB expressed gratitude to the United States for providing information regarding the threat. This follows a statement from the US embassy in Moscow on Saturday, which noted it was aware of a credible threat of a mass casualty event at the Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve. The US embassy did not provide specific details regarding who was plotting the attack.
In Moscow, BBC Russia correspondent Steve Rosenberg, who has been based in the city for over 30 years, spoke to RFI regarding his daily life and his decision to remain in the country despite increasing hostility from the Kremlin toward foreign media.
