Duration: 30 minutes

Mark Franchetti meets Vladimir Putin's inner circle in an attempt to decipher Russia's intentions on domestic and international fronts and how they might impact on the UK.

With a reinvigorated Russia starting to flex its muscles on the world stage once more, a rift in understanding is beginning to emerge between East and West. With this in mind, and in the wake of the conflict in Georgia, Panorama questions if the world is on the verge on another cold war, or possibly worse.
