Inside the Moscow courtroom where judges have just rejected Vladimir Kara-Murza’s appeal against his 25 year prison sentence. The Kremlin critic was convicted of treason in April.

Just seen (briefly) the arrested US journalist Evan Gershkovich. He’s been brought to a Moscow court for an appeal hearing.

We’re in the Moscow courtroom where Evan Gershkovich is appealing the extension of his pre-trial detention. It’s 12 weeks since the Wall Street Journal reporter was arrested in Russia and charged with espionage. He &amp; his employer vehemently deny the charge.

I’m honoured to have received the 2025 Charles Wheeler award in memory of one of the BBC’s greatest foreign correspondents. Thank you to BJR Journalists' Charity University of Westminster and to Shirin and Marina Wheeler. Shirin Wheeler

Our BBC Panorama film 'Our Man In Moscow' is now available on YouTube: a year in the life of Russia and the BBC team here. Ben Tavener BBC Panorama

Books on sale in my local Moscow supermarket. One shelf.

Just seen Oleg Orlov in court. One of Russia's most respected human rights activists is being tried for repeatedly 'discrediting' the Russian armed forces through his criticism of Russia's war in Ukraine.

Moscow bookshop.

Not one, not two, but three different editions of George Orwell’s 1984 on sale now in my local Moscow supermarket.

“There are different ways to commit murder. They chose to strangle us,” journalist Dmitry Muratov tells me, after Russia’s most prominent independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta is forced to close. Our report from Moscow. Producer Ben Tavener

In today's Russian papers, surprise at the the defeat of Moscow ally Aleksander Vučić in Serbia. One paper: “Russia can expect nothing good from this.” Another: “The results benefit the EU.” But several point out: “The Serbs are dependant on Russian gas.” #ReadingRussia

Donald Trump says the Russian sanctions waiver is to help negotiate peace. But one Russian paper today writes: “We will make a deal with Ukraine entirely on our terms.” Another paper: “Russia’s borders, as we know, do not end anywhere.” #ReadingRussia

Putin to Witkoff & Kushner: "You enjoy our full trust. It’s been quite convenient to work with you." Witkoff to Putin: "When we retire we’ll have all these incredible stories & memories and yours will be right at the top of it all." The day the US envoys came to town. Our report from Moscow.

One Russian paper today concludes that the war in Ukraine has reached “a fork in the road: either real peace talks on the entire range of issues, or the next level of escalation.” What the Russian press is saying about the prospects for peace. #ReadingRussia

My first opportunity to ask Vladimir Putin a question since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It came at the end of the BRICS summit in Kazan. Producer Liza

“A beautiful deal”, "a rotten fish" and a very long journey back to Russia. My reflections on a dramatic week. And Valentina has sent me a present. #ReadingRussia

Steve Witkoff's in St Petersburg to meet President Putin: what are this morning’s Russian newspapers saying about the visit? Plus, an interesting editorial…with a warning for the Russian authorities. #ReadingRussia

Today one Russian paper claims “Russia’s military has been given political blank cheque to carry out full demilitarisation & deindustrialisation of Ukraine.” But nothing in the papers from Irkutsk, where there have been reports of a potentially “dangerous infection.” #ReadingRussia

"In this building lived and worked journalist Anna Politkovskaya. Killed 7 October 2006"

What’s top story today on Irkutsk TV? Not the death of a Russian plague researcher. I watch the local TV news bulletin and take a look at today’s Russian newspapers. #ReadingRussia

Our latest report from Moscow on the long petrol queues and on attempts to rally Russians around the flag.

Today the Kremlin confirmed that CIA director John Ratcliffe held talks in Moscow with Russian intelligence officials, but not with Vladimir Putin. Here's what we know (and what we don't). Producer Ben Tavener

"In the closed world of Russian politics, what clues can we find to what comes next?" Our report from Moscow on Vladimir Putin's appearance at a foreign policy forum.

“Why have you come here?" "Good question. But I can’t answer it.” I spoke to Russians arriving at a patriotic concert on Red Square. It marked the anniversary of Russia proclaiming the annexation of 4 Ukrainian regions. Camera anton chicherov Producer Liza

The Russian press continues to discuss John Ratcliffe’s surprise trip to Moscow. One paper: “The visit of a CIA chief is not a sign of peace &amp; not a sign of war. It’s a sign normal channels are no longer effective and that the heavy artillery is required.” #ReadingRussia

20 years ago today Anna Politkovskaya, one of Russia’s most prominent investigative journalists, was murdered. I found no mention of the anniversary in today's Russian newspapers. #ReadingRussia

In Moscow I visit a new Metro station that references the war in Ukraine, a museum that heroises Russian &amp; North Korean soldiers and I try to gauge the mood on the streets. An extended edition of #ReadingRussia

I ask Russians: how do you see your lives five years from now? Among the responses: “That depends on Vladimir Putin. On what mood he’ll be in.” Another reply: “Five years? If I look ahead 10 days, it’s good.” #2026
