Lists produced by journalists are always controversial. Sometimes that’s the point, but yesterday’s ‘30 under 30’ Moscow power list has sparked a furious debate amongst Russians online.

Leaving aside the burning question as to whether Edward Snowden can ever truly be considered a Moskvich, people have criticised us for not looking beyond the city’s “hipster bubble”; for relying on opposition politicians favoured by the west and for including those who reached notoriety in their twenties but have since passed 30.

In a bid to incorporate feedback in our Moscow coverage we are turning it over to you. Who would be on your list and why? Let us know using the form below and we’ll publish your alternative list at the end of the week.
