Former Oil Tycoon Launches Pro-European Political Movement within Russia | New Eastern Outlook
Although officially convicted of tax evasion and embezzlement, it seems
that Khodorkovsky was singled out among the Russian oligarchs due to him

in 2001 by Khodorkovsky to foster animosity in Russia but was later shut
down after the tycoon was behind bars. The board of the Open Russia
Foundation included two Anglo-American titans, namely Henry Kissinger
and Lord Jacob Rothschild, revealing the mindset and intentions of the
individuals who steered the foundation.
