BBC News Channel - Our World, Russia's 'Fake' Election

Ksenia Sobchak is challenging Vladimir Putin for the Russian presidency. Is she for real?

Ksenia Sobchak is challenging Vladimir Putin for the presidency. Some say she's a fake candidate, running to boost the Kremlin's democratic credentials.

Ksenia Sobchak is young, wealthy and famous. Her father helped bring down the Soviet Union. Now she's challenging ex-KGB officer Vladimir Putin for the Russian presidency. A perfect pedigree Perhaps. But some say she's a fake candidate, running a no-hope race to boost the Kremlin's democratic credentials. Gabriel Gatehouse travels to Russia to unravel a tale of family loyalties, a death in suspicious circumstances, and double dealings in the quest for power.
