The socialite ex-wife of Russia's deputy defence minister has snuck into Britain and visited her son who is apparently hiding from Russian conscription.
Svetlana Maniovich has been living a luxury lifestyle in Europe, with St Tropez villas, yachts and Rolls-Royces and now it has been revealed she visited England.
The minister Timur Ivanov’s stepson is believed to be studying at a UK university - safe from the conscription that has seen tens of thousands of young Russians killed after being forced to fight.
