She's the type of fine wine that gets better with age. The key to Russian diplomacy is their whole staff continue studying history and those who practiced their craft before them through the Foreign Ministry's University. Lavrov for example would hold several Doctorates and Maria's not too far behind him. Long ago my advice to foreign media was to tell the truth and present the facts and you'll be better than Western media--I once always left that as commentary on Russian media for many years--Truth is often sensational enough.

Thanks for the info about the Russian Foreign Ministry's University and the fact that Russian "Diplomats" thus deserve that title. When comparing typical statements of US "diplomats" to their Russian counterparts, the US side comes across as petty, uninformed, illiterate, belligerent and mostly just dumb. Unfortunately, the propaganda runs strong here in the US and most citizen have no bandwidth left to engage in politics, especially the foreign kind. But reality will assert itself, eventually, as it always does.
