STupid article. But this paasage is remarkarbly stupid:).
"To fight the "Oligarch War" Putin empowered groups of individuals from the security services. This group, called the "Siloviki" (people of power), continues to flex their muscles. Instead of handing over the assets such as Rosneft and Yugansk to Gazprom, the "Siloviki" appear to sees such assets as rightfully earned spoils of war. "
"Siloviki" on russian means just "enforcerers". It is not security services. It is military, police, court marshals. They doesn't make managing decisions. They carries orders.
Toi fight "oligakh war" Putinm need just to enforce exsisting law. Because such people like Khodorkoskii are plain mafia. And for his acts he would get something like 100 years in prison by american law.
Why you so like Khodorkovskii? Because he plandered Russia?
So were the Gestapo just "police." The siloviki are ex-KGB just like Putin. I don't sympathize with Mr.K., I just think the "strong men" are worth keeping an eye on too. Putin is against some oligarchs, but not all...
