BBC World News - Global Questions, 100 Years Since the Revolution: What Next For Russia?

A century on from the October revolution of 1917, Global Questions heads to St Petersburg.

Join Zeinab Badawi and a panel of Russian and International figures who take questions from a young St Petersburg audience on their hopes and fears for the next century.

One hundred years ago, Lenin and his Bolsheviks seized power at the Winter Palace in St Petersburg - the October revolution of 1917 was one of the turning points of modern history and shaped not only Russia but the modern world. A century on, Global Questions returns to St Petersburg to assess the Russia of today, in particular through the eyes of its younger generation. Soviet communism has collapsed, but what has replaced it? Has post-Communist Russia lived up to the dreams of its people, and if not, what changes and reforms do they want to see? Join Zeinab Badawi and a high profile panel of Russian and International figures who take questions from a young St Petersburg audience on their hopes and fears for the next century.
