his loyal supporters rounded on me in a coordinated attack. vladimir putin is presenting this as just another working visit. .. i�*ve reported from russia for two decades, the whole span of vladimir putin�*s presidency. there have been highs, like the world cup. but i�*ve also charted the slow erosion of freedoms here — the crackdown on dissent. a year ago, the government put me on short—term visas. then i became the news as state television announced i had to leave. after tense negotiations, i had been allowed to enter russia, but only to pack. i was then told my visa wouldn�*t be renewed. supposedly what happened to a russian reporter in london — though that was two years ago. it�*s happening as the pressure on russian journalists who don�*t toe the kremlin line is intensifying. dozhd tv has just been added to a growing blacklist of media labelled "foreign agents"
