While covering the Baltic States, Leah reported live on issues affecting Russian minorities and political disputes over plans to remove a Soviet monument.

From the Czech Republic, she covered protests against U.S. plans to build European missile bases.

Leah has kept viewers up to date from Moscow on topics such as abandoned children, military conscription and demography.
