“Until now, I have always assumed that news reports about Russian hacks were just propaganda or politicians’ poor excuses”, explains Martin Watts, holding his wife Edith’s hand. “Now I have learned the hard way what it is like when the Russians suddenly wish to incriminate you and I have started to take the whole thing very seriously.” Martin has been deeply affected by the malicious attacks from Moscow which almost destroyed the Watts’s hitherto blissful marriage. “When I discovered these pages in Martin's browser history on Sunday, I was incredibly angry with him”, recounts Edith. “He offered me no explanation as to how they could have got there. Then, in an instant he turned white as a sheet and just stammered ‘Putin’!”

“I don’t know what Martin did to justify Putin’s vehemence in destroying our love”, laments Edith Watts. “But of course, I will always unconditionally stand by my dear Martin in the fight against Russia’s dark ambitions. He is the victim here!” She does not yet know how long this fight will last but, “Martin has warned me that such a cowardly attack could happen again at any time. I am mentally prepared for it.”
