BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Kirill Dmitriev: Russia's Sputnik V a vaccine for humankind?

Russia hopes its Sputnik V vaccine can help the world beat Covid 19

Stephen Sackur speaks to a close ally of President Putin and the head of a ten billion dollar sovereign wealth fund which backed Sputnik V

Right now the world is seeing two sides of Vladimir Putin’s Russia. The one he wants you to see is the scientifically advanced nation offering the world an effective Covid vaccine known as Sputnik V. The one he’d rather you ignore is the repressive authoritarian state that ruthlessly eliminates those who threaten the status quo. Stephen Sackur speaks to Kirill Dmitriev a Putin ally, the boss of one of Russia’s sovereign wealth funds and a key backer of the Russian vaccine.
