One can buy stock in a lot of nationalized companies, but you can never get it away from the government. That’s a different kind of leftism, one whose name begins with the sixth letter of the alphabet.
Seizure from a criminal (alleged; he wasn’t tried under US jurisprudence after all) is still no excuse for nationalization. And I don’t excuse nationalization in any country.
When Russia stops aid to Iran (and other Iranian toadies in the Middle East such as Syria), I might start to have a different opinion of them, never mind think of them as serious about Islamic terror anywhere but their own soil. That is direct collaboration with a US enemy.

I think since about 1991 Russians were always on the right side in international affairs, while US picked a wrong side. Iran (might be) an exception. I still can’t get motives for their backing of Iranian nuke program but for some reason I think their support for Iran is more like a bear’s hug. It may look friendly but someone is about to end up choked. Like if you can’t fight something, take a lead over it and bring it to a bog to sink there.

AFAIK, Khodorkovski applied to EU court with his case. Despite EU anti-Russian pro-Soros bias they couldn’t find if he was innocent.
(alleged; he wasn’t tried under US jurisprudence after all)
Why would he have been tried here? He was tried where he committed the fraud and tax evasion. Dude is a criminal. And talk about State ownership, thats this guy in spades.
He got to own a bank under Gorbachev. (hint)
He was able to use ownership of that back to seize state oil after the collapse. He’s a admitted Soros partner.
If that sounds Kosher to you, then cool.
