Steve Rosenberg, often called the BBC's "Man in Moscow," remains the last BBC correspondent stationed in Russia. He faces immense challenges reporting on the war in Ukraine while navigating a landscape dominated by Kremlin propaganda. In a recent interview with CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer, Rosenberg discussed the intense pressure of reporting inside Russia.
Rosenberg expressed his deep concern for the future of Russia, a country he fell in love with many years ago. He described the current environment as increasingly restrictive for journalists, making it difficult to provide unbiased news to the world. Despite these obstacles, he remains committed to reporting the truth as he sees it.
He also shared a lighter anecdote about a time he played piano with former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. This memory highlights the vast changes Russia has undergone in recent decades, contrasting the relative openness of the Gorbachev era with the current climate. Rosenberg's work provides a crucial window into a country grappling with internal and external conflicts.
