I agree with those who see this as a stage show to facilitate exchange for butina. It's just too odd. Went to Russia for a wedding...... pretty thin stuff.

Oh wait! Went to Russia to show people around Russia who were attending a wedding. He was not there to be a guest at a wedding at all! He was going to show wedding guests around his beloved Russia! He's a gd DT plant!

The report by The Guardian states he is a British citizen. The British Consular services have requested access. Guardian reported this evening. While he was living here, he's british. Lol.
