Vladimir Putin’s regional apparatchiks have been accused of turning World Cup sites into modern-day Potemkin villages – a reference to the way tsarist officials allegedly painted scenes on Catherine the Great’s route so that she was unaware of the abject poverty of her peasants. In addition, Russians are being banned from looking out of the windows of their flats and forbidden to use their balconies during the World Cup.

An independent investigation by journalists which was published as online documentary has revealed severe short-comings in the official investigation and has implicated involvement of the Ukrainian secret service.

In an extraordinary development, the high-profile critic of the Kremlin appeared live on Ukrainian TV. The head of Ukraine's security services told reporters the "murder" had been staged after Ukraine learned of a Russian plot to kill the journalist. Vasyl Hrytsak said the hit was "ordered by Russian security services". There were gasps and applause as Mr Babchenko entered the room for the press conference on Wednesday. He thanked the Ukrainian security services for saving his life. The Russian foreign ministry said in a statement it was happy that Mr Babchenko was alive. Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the staged murder was done for "propagandistic effect", Russia's Interfax news agency reported.
