MOSCOW, March 14. /TASS/. The Russian embassy in the US receives many threats, Ambassador Anatoly Antonov said on the Russian TV, adding that provocations are being prepared for the presidential election days.

"We receive a lot of provocative calls, threats. We know that anti-Russian rallies are being planned near the embassies, consulates general, as well as an attempt to break into the embassy territory and - not to disrupt, that would simply be impossible - but to complicate [the elections], to spoil the mood," he said.
