Martin Wainwright explores contemporary
Russia through the themes and settings of three great Russian novels.
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. The tragic heroine of Tolstoy's novel is still very real to modem
Russian readers, who continue to argue over whether Anna was right to abandon her husband and son forthe dashing Count Vronsky. The second great theme of the novel -the Russian countryside - throws up problems of inefficiency and mismanagement which are just as thorny now as they were in Tolstoy's day. Producer Sue Waldram
