Boris Titov, leader of Russia's Party of Growth

Boris Titov is the leader of Russia's Party of Growth. He will contest presidential elections later this month but faces an uphill task to unseat President Vladimir Putin.

HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to, Boris Titov, leader of Russia’s Party of Growth. Seven candidates are challenging Vladimir Putin in this month's Russian presidential election; but none of them has much hope of victory. One of the seven 'other' candidates - Boris Titov - is a Putin appointee as government ombudsman for business. Does Russia need reform rather than authoritarianism?
