I thought after yesterday’s post about the British Council dispute, I could safely leave the issue alone (our first post on the topic dates back to June 14, 2007). But then again, I didn’t expect the Russians to start making arrests. Today’s news brings a dramatic escalation to the whole affair, with the interrogation of several British Council employees by the FSB (what on earth could they possibly tell them?), as well as the arrest the director Stephen Kinnock (pictured) on alleged charges of drunk driving. Kinnock is also the son of Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock, who chairs the organization.
