People say the food in there is slop, but that is not why Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky, Russia's richest prison inmate, skips lunch, reports Seth Mydans and Erin E. Arvedlund for the New York Times: |
“The young cutthroat entrepreneur who is worth $8 billion after taking over Russia's biggest oil company, and who had begun to cast his eye on the presidency, seems to be pouring his heart into his new role as jailhouse lawyer. It may be a futile exercise, as even his lawyers come close to admitting. The case of Mr. Khodorkovsky, 40, has clearly been orchestrated from the top, and courtroom arguments may have little influence on its outcome. ‘He understands that he may have to be in prison a long time,’ Mr. Drel said. ‘I can't say he looks very good. You can see that he's tired.’"
"Most of Russia would be happy to see him carried through the streets in a cart so that they could poke sticks at him," said Pavel Arsenyev, who heads the Moscow office of the Foundation for Civil Liberties, which monitors prisoners' rights.
Khodorkovsky is one of many Russian oligarchs or “robber barons,” most of whom are Jewish, who exploited sweetheart deals during privatization to gain great wealth at the expense of ordinary Russians. See Dr. William Pierce’s article “The Russian Economy” for more information.
Russian officials fear that Khodorkovsky would flee from prosecution if released on bail, much like Jewish oligarchs Boris Berezovsky, who has been granted asylum in the Britain, and Vladimir Gusinsky, who successfully argued against extradition in both the Spanish and Greek courts.
New York Times: “Mr. Khodorkovsky shares a small cell with two other men, exercises in a walled enclosure for two hours a day and is permitted to talk with his wife and parents through a plate glass window two times a month. With President Vladimir V. Putin hinting last month that ‘five or seven or 10’ more people could follow Mr. Khodorkovsky into jail, the country's wealthy oligarchs have lowered their heads and backed quietly away from their former colleague. It is hard to find anyone - apart from the lawyers who are paid to do so - to defend him in public.”

This is a fabrication |

A quick look at the actual NYT article shows that it says nothing whatsoever about the ethnicity of Russia's "oligarchs" and in fact, does not contain the word "oligarch".
The reference to the late unlamented William Pierce should serve as a dead giveaway that this is the work of a neo-Nazi hatefreak- a breed much given to taking mainstream news articles and posting falsified versions on IMC sites.
Trying to use the troubles of Russia as a means of defaming an entire people- by attempting to induce the reader to commit the fallacies of composition and hasty generalization is reprehensible. Trying to do it with such crude fabrications is laughable. |
