One of Vladimir Putin's most prominent rivals has been filmed in a sex sting with a British woman who is also a leading opposition campaigner.
Grainy bedroom footage purports to show former Kremlin prime minister Mikhail Kasyanov, 58, with playwright and activist Natalya Pelevine, 39, in a Moscow apartment.
The release by Kremlin-friendly television channel NTV is apparently aimed at destroying one of the few opposition leaders seen as remotely capable of being an alternative president to Putin.

But it also attacks and humiliates UK citizen Pelevine, who has been a constant critic of the Russian leadership, especially over its actions in Chechnya and lack of democracy.
The pair were filmed naked or scantily clad, their faces fully visible.
