Russian diplomat, Borodin, back to Russia
The controversial Russian diplomat, Dmitry Borodin, has left the Netherlands. In a tweet Sunday night, he said his departure "is not entirely of his own accord."The second man from the Russian embassy was arrested for assaulting his children last month in The Hague, although he enjoyed diplomatic immunity. His arrest was the start of diplomatic restlessness between Netherlands and Russia.

Russian diplomat Borodin, who sneered at the Hague police on Twitter earlier, claims he has no problems with the Dutch people. "I left a lot of friends," according to the diplomat. However, he does question those who judged him from a "feeling of moral superiority". The riot in the aftermath of Borodin's arrest contributed to the chilled relations between the Netherlands and Russia. Frans Timmermans, Minister of Foreign Affairs (PvdA), had to apologize for violating the Vienna Convention, which established diplomatic immunity.
