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]
