You are shaping the perception and the perception that Russia is guilty.

That's what you are doing.

And this is propaganda.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry to say this.

You are a piece of propaganda.

It's especially difficult when Vladimir Putin knows who you are

Thank you.

It's nice to be back with you.

I'm Steve Rosenberg.

I'm the BBC's Russia editor based in Moscow and covering news in the world's largest country.

The first thing to say is I'm not the only Western journalist left here in Moscow.

There are still quite a few of us, not nearly as many as there used to be.

And I took the decision that I wanted to stay because I thought it was important as long as it was safe to do so.

And of course, that's a big question.

And I'm constantly assessing and reassessing the safety.
