In this special edition of the programme, HARDtalk is on the road in the far east of Russia.

Stephen Sackur reports from Vladivostok, the port city that gives Russia its claim to be an Asia-Pacific power. Moscow may be 9,000 kilometres and seven time zones away, but Vladimir Putin sees this eastern frontier as a crucial asset in his effort to turn Russia into a 21st-century global superpower. As Stephen Sackur explores, is Russia about to make a pivot to Asia?
