Twitter suspends RT’s ‘UK Embassy’ account created for historical project after London complains

‘The UK Foreign Office is apparently so concerned with protecting its brand that it asked Twitter to suspend an RT account which reports what London diplomats had to say about Russia back in 1917 as part of a historical reenactment.
The account in question was created as part of RT’s 1917LIVE project, which gives people the chance to experience the atmosphere of the Russian Empire as it was undergoing dramatic changes and eventual collapse a century ago.
“The account was labeled as the official Twitter account of the embassy of the United Kingdom in the Russian Empire, which obviously doesn’t even exist anymore. We tried to get in touch with the present-day UK embassy in Moscow, and received no reply. We are truly sad it has come to this,” said RT’s Deputy Head of Social Media Gleb Burashov.
