Russian Deputy PM throws dolly out the pram

TALLINN, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov visited Tallinn yesterday to see the basketball match between BC Kalev/Cramo and Moscow CSKA at the Saku Arena. When asked about his visit in an interview with ETV after the match, Ivanov said “I am an official on a sufficiently high level, but I only came here for a few hours to watch a basketball match. As for our political and economic relations – things were going better until just today. I arrived in a very positive mood, ready to clap my Estonian comrades on the back. But now I am of the opinion that the relations will not improve in near future,” said Ivanov darkly, noting that Estonians probably know the reason for that and understand it well. Estonian team BC Kalev/Cramo beat Moscow CSKA 98-15.
