Mark Franchetti is the Moscow correspondent of the Sunday Times of London. He reports on Russia and the former Soviet Union and also covered the wars in Kosovo, Chechnya, Afghanistan and Iraq. Before being posted to Russia in 1997 he was based in Berlin and London, also for the Sunday Times.
In 2003 he won the British Press Awards for best foreign reporter for his coverage of the Moscow theatre siege when he entered the building twice to interview the Chechen terrorists during the hostage crisis.
The following year he won the best news story category at the Foreign Press Association Awards for his first hand reportage on the killing of innocent Iraqi civilians by US Marines he was embedded with during the Iraq war. He speaks five languages and recently gained unique access to Andrei Lugovoi, the suspect in the Alexander Litvinenko murder, for a TV documentary. He has also worked on films about the Moscow theatre siege and the Beslan hostage crisis.
