Russian heat
Today's FT points out that August can be quite a dramatic month in Russia:
1991 Attempted coup
1998 Debt default
2004 Terrorism
2008 War
2012 Jailing of Pussy Riot and joining the World Trade Organisation.
Meanwhile in a letter, Mike Post points out that when protestors against homophobia disrupted the Easter service at Canterbury Cathedral in 1998, their leader, Peter Tatchell, was fined £18.60.
