The Kremlin has accused Britain of “expelling” four of its diplomats by changing visa policy. In a strongly-worded attack, the Russian Embassy in London accused the Home Office and Foreign Office of attempting to “wreck the international order” and violating the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations by extending the diplomats’ visas by just three months instead of one or two years. It accused the Home Office of declaring them “personae non gratae” and of effectively telling them to “pack up” and leave. One of the diplomats involved is thought to be Sergey Nabolin, who became known for forging close links with Westminster journalists, bloggers, and even Members of Parliament who were ever present at his parties, and had him on speed-dial. The Telegraph reports a spokesman for the Russian Embassy called it an attempt at “diminishing and limiting the Russian diplomatic presence in the UK and to hamper our work”.
