Привожу статью Daily Telegraph без купюр (слава Богу , они на Корр не ходят и за нарушение аффтарских прав меня не нагнут:)))

Для совсем уж не владеющих проклятым языком компрадоров и капиталов – суть в том , что министр иностранных дел РФ Лавров сказал министру иностранных дел Великобритании :

Кто ты на*уй такой , чтобы меня поучать ?!

David Miliband subjected to 'F-word tirade' from Russian foreign minister Lavrov

The Daily Telegraph can disclose that Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, reacted with fury when Mr Miliband and he spoke on the telephone. Mr Lavrov is said to have objected to being lectured by the British.

It was alleged that such was the repeated use of the "F-word", one insider who has seen the transcript, said it was difficult to draft a readable note of the conversation.

Mr Lavrov said: "Who are you to f------ lecture me?" He also asked Mr Miliband in blunt terms whether he knew anything of Russia's history.

The incident is set to add to pressure on the already strained diplomatic relations between Britain and Russia.

Mr Lavrov insisted that he had not sworn at Mr Miliband and accused the Foreign Office of trying to smear his reputation. He said that he was taking the "unusual step" of declassifying and releasing the Russian transcript of the conversation.

In the conversation, the Foreign Secretary had been putting forward Britain and Europe's objections to the actions of Russia, after their tanks entered the breakaway region of South Ossetia last month.

Mr Miliband has said that Europe should reassess its ties with Russia after its "aggressive" behaviour.

It is also understood that Mr Miliband was asked about Britain and America's invasion of Iraq, when Russian actions in Georgia were questioned, during the tense conversation that took place recently.

Sources at the Foreign Office claimed there was swearing "but only from one side".

A spokesman for the Foreign Secretary said: "We do not discuss diplomatic conversations between foreign ministers."
