Sergei Guriev is one of modern Russia's best and brightest economists. Well connected to the new Russian political elite, Guriev was a strong voice for economic liberalisation and is a Russian patriot.

And what does Guriev's extraordinary story tell us about the true face of Vladimir Putin's Russia?
