A nice info of my fellow writing of Saint-Nazaire: since Monday morning, the 400 Russian sailors in training in Saint-Nazaire on the helicopter carrier Vladivostok , a PCB (building projection and command) type Mistral , n longer have access to board. No physical measurement, however, has been implemented to prevent their access to the helicopter carrier which should have been delivered to the Russian customer there a few days.

A little context. Moored on a dock basin Penhoët in Saint-Nazaire, the Vladivostok is ready yet to take the sea. The formation of two Russian men crew ended a few days ago and they have carried out maneuvers Sea several times (photo Franck Dubray).

The second building class Mistral for the Russian navy, Sevastopol , also under construction at STX in Saint-Nazaire, is expected to be launched this week. These ships were sold by France to Russia for 1.2 billion euros in June 2011, under the presidency of Nicolas Sarkozy.

Who took the initiative for such a ban? Monday night, when Jean-Yves Le Drian inaugurated the office of the Tigris, the Ministry of Defence said that ignoring this information. In fact, the interior has obviously served relay at the Elysee who chose to intensify pressure on the Russians.

Of course, there is no "physical pressure" to fear the Russians might be tempted to believe the sea nose and beard of France. Such a scenario rappelerait illegal exit of the stars of Cherbourg at the Christmas Eve 1969. The fact remains that the departure of a PCB with 400 sailors and ship school Smolniy with 150 sailors still highly unlikely. Especially as the PCB and are preserved in a closed basin. Exit the novel hypothesis.

War of nerves? Game of cat and mouse? Who is the cat, between Vladimir and Francis, because cat always bite the mouse.
