Russia's Lavrov accuses Britain of imperial nostalgia: agency

MOSCOW: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday that Britain's refusal to close two cultural centres in Russia appeared to reflect nostalgia for a lost empire, a local news agency reported.
"Of course we understand that historical memory, possibly connected with nostalgia for colonial times, is prevailing," Lavrov was quoted as saying. "But this is not the language in which you can talk to Russia."
