TEHRAN (Defapress)- "The British ambassador to Russia said he does not know a single Russophobe in the UK," Zakharova wrote on Facebook on Saturday, TASS reported.

"That’s the answer to your numerous questions on 'how can one mislead others so cynically?'", asked, promising to comment on the issue in detail at an upcoming press briefing next week.

"Meanwhile, I can advise Mr. Bristow [to read] a book by Swiss journalist Guy Mettan titled 'The West and Russia. A Thousand Year War' with a telling subtitle: Why we love to hate Russia so much," Zakharova said, adding that "Britain is mentioned there too".
