Our Ambassador
“Welcome to the website of the British Embassy in the Russian Federation. I am proud to be Ambassador here at such an interesting time.
Britain and Russia are cooperating as never before, in fields as diverse as trade, science, defence, and culture. This website is designed to give you as much information as possible on the range of work that we do together. It also contains information about the services that we can offer you, including visas, consular assistance, trade and economic advice, and much more. And, together with the websites of organisations such as the British Council and VisitBritain, we have information which will help you find out more about the modern, diverse and creative Britain I represent in Russia.
I hope that you will find the information you require here. Please feel free to contact us by email, telephone or fax should you require further assistance.”
