YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOnly one person can win the Russian election. So why would anyone risk it all to challenge Vladimir Putin? Ksenia Sobchak is a Russian socialite turned opposition journalist. Now she’s running for the Russian presidency. But many opposition supporters say she’s a fake candidate, running a no-hope race to boost the Kremlin’s democratic credentials. She herself admits she has no chance of winning. Gabriel Gatehouse joined Ksenia Sobchak on the campaign trail and found a twisted tale of intrigue, power struggles and family loyalties in a country where nothing is as simple as it first appears.
