Need to say this
I feel it has to be said that neither I nor Andrei had any control over what would go into the piece in The Independent and how the story would be told or what issues might be brought up. In other words we had no part in actually writing the article and saw it only when it came out. In fact when i asked Shaun Walker, the journalist, if i could see it before it was printed, i heard a firm 'no'. This deserves my utmost respect and is called the free press.

It's not freedom of press : it would have been correct from his side to let you check that he reported things as you described them
From your post here anyway I gather he wrote completely what you and your fiancee told him .
Right ?
Yes, but the journalist was afraid i will try to influence his take on it, which is common in Russia.
