Stock Photo - John le Carré in Bern (photo from 09/30/2010). The spy novel writer John le Carré (79) sees Russia again as a threat to the West. This time, however, it is not about a military threat, said le Carré in a conversation with the after-news agency dpa. Many billions of Russian newcomers have flowed into Western financial centers. ""And that is a danger - a moral danger - for Western society."" The entanglement of British civil servants with the Russian underworld is a central theme of his new novel ""Verrater wie wir"", which will also be published in Germany this week (October 29).
