By John Bonar
Every month a hundred or so Russians and their friends come together for a social evening and business networking opportunity in Home House, an exclusive London club on the corner of Portman Square. The regular event is organised by RUSSIANSinUK, an organisation founded in 2006 by Anya Portnik, who landed in the UK as a boarding pupil at a private boarding school twenty years ago.

The balding middle-aged man who was hailed as a "have-a-go-hero" for trying to trip up the fleeing assailant as he ran from his stabbed victim in Ladbroke Grove in the closing hours of the Notting Hill Carnival last Monday has been identified as former St Petersburg policeman, Valentine Simatchenko.
