Putin foe Khodorkovsky

Khodorkovsky is a scoundrel and a thief. He stole billions from the Russian people.

He had worked his way up the Communist apparatus during the Soviet years, and began business under Gorbatchev. He accumulated an enormous wealth - $15 billion (16th place on Forbes list) by stealing the country oil as the head of Yukos, using the privatization of state assets during the 1990s.

In 2003, he was arrested and charged with fraud. He was found guilty and sentenced to nine years in prison in 2005.
