As the former British Prime Minister said at the Tres Rivesta exhibition in 2017, he allegedly wanted to reconcile relations with Moscow, but the attempt "ended in disaster." According to the politician, at the meeting, the Russian Foreign Minister "forced him to drink a huge amount of vodka", sitting in front of a very hot fireplace. It was like some sort of Victorian private school punishment. It was terrible, Johnson complained. The episode with Lavrov hurt the politician so badly that he reminds him a second time - he told about it in his memoirs. Photo: Global Look Press/Keystone Press Agency/Philip Lewis.
