Twenty-Five Years of Reporting from Moscow
Russia ...is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma
SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL
Erik de Mauny was the BBC's first resident correspondent in the Soviet Union. At the beginning of May 1963, he went to cover the Wynne-Penkovsky trial and to open up the Moscow Office. Those were the days of Khrushchev and of the 'thaw'. He went back for a second term of duty in the 1970s, the days of Brezhnev and of the dissidents. To mark the first 25 years of the BBC's news and current affairs coverage from the USSR, he returns for a brief visit and, with the help of the BBC colleagues who succeeded him in the Moscow posting, he tries to assess whether in the age of Gorbachev, and ofglasnost, the mystery is beginning to dissolve or whether Churchill's definition still holds an element of truth.
