Why did you open this thread, KiraAg? Are you preoccupied with his fate?
The matter is that nobody knows the truth about activity of M. Khodorkovsky, nevertheless too many words have been said of him.

I've read a book about him. I don't reaaly know why is he in jail, but I know that he was really a good businessman. What exactly do you want to know?

my mommy told me that..:
Mikhail Khodorkovsky is the former Russian oligarch, now serving an eight year prison sentence, has accused one of prime minister Vladimir Putin’s most senior aides of plotting to have him arrested and stripping his oil company of billions. Khodorkovsky, jailed on fraud and tax evasion charges, accused Igor Sechin, a former KGB officer who became deputy prime minister this month, of plundering his oil company “out of greed”.

but here's my question...should i know about him...? i don't live in Russia....

Though he is my friend in Facebook, I know a little about him except what I got to know from the press.

According to Ekho Moskvy radio, he is a prisoner of conscience. As for me, I can not more write about him.
