The guy is lean and mean with an icy smile. So he is an owner of left-wing rag "Independent" ? I wonder how rabid lefties at Independent cope with their boss everyday? I suppose face-to-face confrontation is not their choice. LOL.

When he took over Independent, Lebedev reportedly said,
"I invest in institutions which contribute to democracy and transparency"
I suppose he advocates free 'transparent' form of expression.
Lebedev biography at Wikipedia.org has already had an update:
In September 2011 while appearing on a Russian television programme, he punched a fellow guest, property developer Sergei Polonsky.[9] Lebedev claimed afterwards that he had reacted to Polonsky's threat of violence towards him.[10]

I may be misremembering things, but isn’t that substantially the same ploy that Russia used when invading Georgia?

That pretty much sums up my personal experience with all the Russians I’ve met.

Check out the graphic in the background. The U.S. one dollar bill in flames with George Washington looking horrified. It’s so appropriate.

My bet is there are quite a few dead bodies associated with how Mr. Lebedev acquired his billions.
