Russian Embassy suffering an indentity crisis

The Irish Times carried an interesting letter yesterday. The letter, written by the press-attaché of the Embassy of the Russian Federation, is in reply to a letter earlier in the week.

Why does the embassy insist in getting its address wrong?

But there is an improvement. Up to now they told us their address was in Dublin 6. But now they do the impossible and tell us it is in Rathgar, Dublin 14.

Not possible. But maybe that's akin to saying eastern Ukraine is in Russia.

The embassy is in Churchtown, Dublin 14. The River Dodder divides Dublin 6 from 14. Property prices are higher on the right side of the Dodder.
