Russia in 2018

A look ahead to Russia in 2018 as it enters an election year and hosts the World Cup - how will it present itself to the rest of the world?

We look ahead to Russia in 2018 as it enters election year and hosts the World Cup - how will it present itself to the rest of the world? We bring together three close Russia watchers. As George Weah is announced Liberia's new president, we ask can he be as successful in politics as on the football pitch? Plus, we look back on a history of drunkenness and ask our Europe correspondent Kevin Connolly to reflect back on a year reporting on Brexit.
