Moscow Tells Norwegian Envoy That Consul Who Said She 'Hates Russians' Cannot Stay in Country

"An employee of Norway's Consulate General in Murmansk, Russia, was caught on record in
the middle of an emotional rant during which she confessed that she "hate[s] Russians". The consul was complaining about a room booking mix-up taking too long to resolve and her room being insufficiently clean.
The Norwegian ambassador in Russia, Rune Resaland, was summoned by Moscow to be notified of the "unacceptable" behavior of one of the employees of Norway's Consulate General, consul Elisabeth Ellingsen. Resaland was also informed that Ellingsen can no longer stay in the country following her statements.
The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that although Oslo apologized for Ellingsen's behavior, she nonetheless must leave the country." Sputnik
