TODAY: Anglo-Russian relations to “normalize”? Medvedev coached to look like Putin? Georgia-Russia transport links resume. Nato jets escort Russian patrols. Britain’s Ambassador to Russia will stand down at the end of the summer, and a Russian Foreign Ministry official said the departure “should be seen in the context of the readiness of the British side to normalize Russian-British relations”. Following the Egyptian President’s remarks about the similarities between Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev, one newspaper today alleges that Medvedev has had “voice and behaviour coaching so that he imitates his mentor’s speech patterns, mannerisms and slightly clenched gait.”
