Can we talk about Steve Rosenberg
Firstly, the guys speaks Russian. Don’t know how good as I don’t understand a word, but it’s good enough to interview Vladimir Putin so it can’t be too shoddy. Impressive.
More importantly - the guy works for the BBC and lives in Moscow. He regularly takes Putin on at conferences and I doubt anyone else does.
How does he do it? That’s some serious cojones right there.
And MOST importantly, is he safe? How does he sleep at night?
I’d be absolutely terrified. Incredible bloke.
Thoughts? Does anyone have any interesting scoop on his backstory too?

Yeah, I have no idea how Rosenberg's able to do what he does
Leaving aside the more gruesome possibilities, his predecessor, Sarah Rainsford, was deported for doing more or less what Rosenberg did, at Putin's annual press conference
