Anti-Khodorkovskii demonstrators today held banners reading "Putin, protect us from Khodorkovskii."
Well, at least they know who really is responsible for this decision. Court only announced the verdict.

Russian tax authorities have demanded that Yukos pay $27.4 billion for what they claim were back taxes. Prior to his arrest in October 2003, Khodorkovskii was Russia's richest man, with a fortune estimated at $15 billion. He must be in the 182% tax bracket.

A newspaper banner [tomorrow, probably] will proudly proclaim "Just sentence on the enemies of the people".

"Abroad, the verdict is likely to further shake investor confidence and tarnish Russian President Vladimir Putins image, both badly hurt by the 11-month trial."
Putin is the criminal. It's so sad that Russia always has such criminal leaders.
