The embarrassing footage purportedly shows former Kremlin prime minister Mikhail Kasyanov, 58, with playwright and activist Natalya Pelevine, 39, in a Moscow apartment.
The married man is known to be one of president Vladimir Putin's most prominent rivals and the British woman is also a leading opposition campaigner.
The release by Kremlin-friendly television channel NTV is apparently aimed at destroying one of the few opposition leaders seen as remotely capable of being an alternative president to Putin.
