The initiator of the appeal to the Ministry of Justice with a corresponding request was the LDPR deputy Alexey Mitrofanov. Most parliamentarians supported the idea.

According to Mitrofanov, Khodorkovsky should have been put “on a desert island in the Pskov region,” otherwise “a person with that kind of money could mobilize and create a criminal army.”
