OXFORD BROOKES UNIVERSITY: At around 4pm yesterday a member of MI5 visited a staff member of the graduate diploma course in architecture at Brookes university, Oxford. It is rumoured that miss Sarah Neville, who just commenced her first term as a main tutor this year, is in fact Paula Lissitzky, an undercover spy for some communist factions intent on unsettling the youth within the architectural schools in the U.K. She is known to have already become very involved with the growing groups in and around the Oxford and London areas who have been organising the recent violent “anti-globalisation” protests.
Paula Lissitzky is in fact the great granddaughter of El Lissitzky, the famous Russian architect who was at the architectural forefront in post communist Russia. Paula went missing in 1989 when the Berlin wall came down, she was 19 at the time and had being living there with her artist and architect parents, Ivan and Tania Lissitzky. Sarah Neville, it seems has had an interesting life to say the least, she appeared on the scene in 1999 when as a final year architectural student in Berlin she managed to both put on her first public art exhibition; “revolutionary art”, and have a documentary screened on national German television. While doing all this she also managed to leave college with a first degree honours.
This year is the first time miss Neville has taught in Brookes university in Oxford. She is teaching the graduate diploma in “modern architectural theory and action” which she insists is about “presenting the full picture of what architecture in today’s world is about to students and letting them make their own minds up about what direction architecture should progress in”. She does not deny the fact that she might have been the direct cause for 300 oxford architectural students participating in the anti war rally in London last week.
During the interrogation of Sarah Neville, she repeatedly denied being Paula Lissitzky, but later in fact did admit to it. This is surely incriminating evidence that she is an undercover spy, but she insists that she is not a communist but in fact a freedom loving, committed and passionate architect who is trying to do what she can to improve this world.
