Russia’s NATO envoy likes you. No really, he does …

Russia’s controversial new envoy to NATO clearly likes journalists: perhaps a little too much. Like in the grotty step-uncle or choir master kind of way…

Thank you to one BM faithful who forwarded us this email from the Russian Mission to Nato’s press office:

“Dear Colleagues! [N.B. the adolescent use of punctuation is all Russia’s own. ed]

“Unfortunately we have to cancel the Press Conference tomorrow.

“We apologize if this influences your plans and convience you of Dr.Rogozin’s friendly feelings 🙂 [re: emoticon, c.f. note above. ed]

“Best regards,

“Russian Mission to NATO Press Office”
