Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov put him under severe scrutiny during a visit to Moscow in 2017. The British politician spoke about it in the broadcast of the program Three Answers. "It's really like some kind of punishment in a Victorian private school," complained the former British prime minister. "It was terrible," he added. In Germany they talked about the shameful act of March. According to Johnson, he then traveled to the Russian capital in hopes of establishing a diplomatic dialogue, but the atmosphere at the meeting turned out to be far from friendly. The British politician claims that the head of the Russian department sat him in front of a hot fireplace and forced him to drink strong alcohol. "The attempt to reset relations with Moscow ended in disaster," said the former British prime minister. Earlier, the former Prime Minister described in detail the same episode of his diplomatic practice in the pages of his own memoirs.
