THE GRAND TUFTI GETS ANOTHER GONG

From THE BBC:

The Grand Tufti has been awarded a top Russian honour
recognising his love of the country and its literature. He
received the Order of Friendship at a ceremony in London.
He was given a volume of his own poems translated into
Russian which was nearly blocked by a Moscow customs
official who mistook it for explosives. Dr Williams said he
was "delighted and rather overwhelmed" by the award.

  1. He was given a volume of his own poems translated into Russian which was nearly blocked by a Moscow customs official who mistook it for explosives

    Does this mean his book bombed in Russia.
