There's far more to Russia than the Kremlin's corridors of power, so join me as I hear from Russian personalities from across the worlds of sport, activism, history, the arts and more. Some of them will be telling me their own stories. Others will open windows onto Russia's rich diversity. Episodes might vary in format, but one thing will remain constant: I'll be steering well clear of the country's heated political scene. I also tweet about Russia @francska1

Architectural conservationist Polina Ivanova

Architectural conservationist, activist and author Polina Ivanova tells me about her pioneering work in preserving the Soviet architectural legacy of Yekaterinburg, Russia's fourth-largest city. She takes me through the intriguing historical context of Soviet architecture from the revolution right up to perestroika, and also explains why the Russian mentality presents particular challenges to her work.
