Interviewing Dmitry Baltrukov (15:39 to 27:41)

In September 2022, Lisa Haseldine spoke in Russian when she interviewed dissident Dmitry Baltrukov in "The Week in 60 Minutes" on SpectatorTV.

The full line-up for "The Week in 60 Minutes" was Katy Balls, The Spectator's deputy political editor, who was joined by journalist Peter Hitchens; Spectator contributor Paul Wood; Spectator's economics editor Kate Andrews; political editor James Forsyth; assistant editor Isabel Hardman; news editor John Connolly; and assistant online editor Lisa Haseldine.

On 22 September 2022, Lisa Haseldine tweeted:

"For my first @spectator magazine piece I spoke to insanely brave Russian local councillors about a petition + letter they signed calling for Putin to be removed from power. Now, more than ever, their words are important.

"Read it here: ‘Staying silent isn’t an option’ – meet Putin’s new opposition"
