Russian students and graduates living in Britain should go home immediately, so they can be sent to study or work in Siberia, says a new official initiative.

The threat of security problems and 'provocations' in the wake of the Skripals' poisoning means they should flee now and move to the 'wild east' of Russia.

A campaign aimed at bringing home young people studying in the UK and other Western countries has been launched by an official group representing former Soviet states.

They are told that there are excellent opportunities in the far east of Siberia instead of London - but the plan has been mocked on social media.
