Three and a half months after the incident with the former GRU officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia, the Salisbury inhabitants increasingly come to the conclusion that Russia is not to blame for what happened. Putin - "not a stupid person," if he wanted to kill someone, he would have been dead, "someone has framed him," - quotes The New York Times words of a resident of Salisbury Lisa Carey. The publication notes that immediately after the poisoning of the Violins, the British government looked like a winner in the PR war: the Allies supported Teresa May, and by the end of March more than 100 Russian diplomats were expelled from the countries of the European Union, the United States and Canada. But then Britain lost control of the information, the American journalist complains, - Russian publications began actively promoting alternative explanations of the tragedy in Salisbury, for example, that the poisoning of the Violins is London, and all this was done in order to divert attention from brexite. As a result, Salisbury residents began to wonder why Russia is trying to find the causes of the emergency, and the government of the United Kingdom does not respond to the proposed versions. On inconsistencies in the case of Skripalay earlier indicated and British journalists. For the most part, the majority of people believe in the explanations of official London, but increasingly it becomes those who note. that many questions remained unanswered. So, the townspeople guess where the policeman Nick Bailey (Nick Bailey) is now, who was the first to try to help the Violins and suffered from nerve gas. Others are concerned about what happened to the ducks who were swimming near the place where the emergency occurred. The authorities claim that the ducks just flew away, but some people suspect that they were destroyed, like a cat and guinea pigs of an ex-spy. It is also unclear, some of the places that visited Skripali in the fateful day for them, some were closed to people, others - no. According to a number of local residents, there is a feeling that they are being imposed by the fact that Russia is involved in the poisoning of the former GRU and his daughter, but in this story there is something missing. The publication emphasizes that the British confidence in their institutions began to decline even during the war in Iraq, and now Russia has done its utmost to sow distrust in the minds of the British. However, Lisa Carey mentioned above claims that she has never read the Russian media. And others emphasize that the attack on the Violins was not a special operation of Moscow, because it was "too awkward and reckless".
