Angus Roxburgh
Angus brings to GPlus over 20 years of experience in journalism, first as a reporter for the London-based Sunday Times and then as a senior BBC correspondent. He advises GPlus clients on the opportunities and pit-falls in dealing with the media. Angus was the Sunday Times Moscow correspondent for two years, as the old Soviet system collapsed under Gorbachev in the late 1980s. In 1991 Angus joined the BBC and was immediately sent to Moscow where he covered the first waves of democratisation and privatisation and the war in Chechnya. In 1998 Angus became the BBC’s Europe Correspondent, based in Brussels. More recently, he has combined journalism with media training for Brussels-based NGOs, companies and the European Commission. Angus has written three books. Pravda: Inside the Soviet News Machine and The Second Russian Revolution chart the course of reform in Russia in the early 1990s. The third is about far-right politics in Europe and is entitled Preachers of Hate. He is also the author of the chapter on Russian history in the Europa handbook on Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States. Angus holds a first-class honours degree in Russian and German from Aberdeen University. He speaks English, Russian, German and French. |
