YEa good one ol Russkies.
BBC reporting on it was crap as usual. the title "Russians Claim record fo deepest fresh water dive. Claim was in quotes which to me implied that they didn't believe it. I am willing to bet that if it was a UK vessel there would have been no quotes around "claim" and worded differently.
