built 175 days ago
Besides, arch enemies of the Putin administration live in Israel today - particularly former owners of Menatep/Yukos, like Vladimir Dubov and Leonid Nevzlin. Both men have been feverishly interested in wrecking both Putin’s and Russia’s image.

In this year's election, Dubov was given a place high up on the list of United Russia (a party created by the merger of Fatherland-All Russia and Unity in February 2002). But in what was widely seen as a Kremlin order linked to the Yukos affair, he was excluded from the party list at the end of October.

Brudno, Dubov and Nevzelin claim that the arrest warrants against them were issued at the order of the Russian president as part of a campaign of political intimidation against reformists. According to the three, former Yukos chairman Mikhail Khodorkovski, who has been in a Moscow jail for the past 16 months, was arrested for the same reason.

A 45-year-old former physicist who was Yukos's tax chief until he retired in 1999 to run for parliament, Mr. Dubov says he has put his Yukos stock in a trust to reduce the potential for conflicts of interest. He emphatically denies lobbying for Yukos's narrow interests, noting that he has pushed for tax cuts and deregulation measures that benefit all of Russian business.

United Russia last month expelled one Yukos executive, Vladimir Dubov, who had been running on its party list. Its leader, Interior Minister Boris Gryzlov, warned publicly that Russia's natural resources still belonged to the state and could be taken back from private businesses that exploit them "at any time."
