Stand down Jon Snow, Daenerys and Sansa. As the hit series “Game
of Thrones” draws to a close, Russian authorities say they have
seized the “Iron Throne”.
Traders set up a replica of the throne featured in the HBO drama
in a main square of Saint Petersburg for passersby to take pictures
with, city hall said Tuesday.
But during a raid, officials seized the seat, which they said
was installed in the former imperial capital illegally.
They did not provide details of the throne’s location or whether
it would be returned.
The last episode of “Game of Thrones”, which has enjoyed
worldwide success over eight seasons, will be broadcast on
Sunday.
According to a survey by state pollster VTsIOM, one in ten
Russians are watching the US series.
