Frankie Boyle heads to Russia before the World Cup begins, to go behind the stereotypes and half-truths of Russian football and culture.

Comedian Frankie Boyle is heading to Russia before the World Cup tournament begins, to go behind the stereotypes and half-truths of Russian football and culture with his trademark provocative humour.
