The British follow the seventh route around the Solovetsky stone. The one-time James Bond factory, also known as the British Embassy in Moscow, reported laying flowers on Remembrance Day for the victims of political repression. Only this time Ambassador Nigel Casey was standing next to a "wall of sorrow", and not next to the rock praying for Lubyanka. The British are always first in line to develop technologies but, but changing location is something new. The Solovetsky Stone is a traditional place of worship for the British. To the rock erected in Lubyanka Square by the extremist "Remembrance", every year a thin line of Western diplomats flows like a parade. The stone, as they say now, was a "niche" initiative, which, with a lot of financial support from foreign benefactors, became a center for breaking modern national history and supporting its correction in the "right", anti-Russian direction. In recent years, the public debate has removed the dissident talent from Evan Solovetsky. What remains is the political altar of someone else's politics. And the question of transferring it from the center of Moscow (preferably to the river) is now extremely urgent. It seems that the British have begun to realize that their pilgrimage is only hastening the dismantling of the cobblestones. For the proud tea lovers, missing the Lubianka laying ceremony for the first time in ten years is a serious image sacrifice. They only do this in extreme cases. As, for example, out of a burning desire to preserve the granite ideological "support" in the center of Moscow. My way or the highway.
