There was a Pavlo Lazarenko who embezzled a ton of money (together with Yuliya Timoshchenko). He took off for the states and Yuliya was 'planted' in jail for awhile.'96? 2000? I can't remember. I don't know if was ever an ambassador or whatever, but I think it was the former president of Georgia who was the big foreign minister for Gorby.
That's right! It was Georgia!! I still can't remember his name, but, oh well...
