Readers of Izvestia discuss the Yukos problem

On August 16, Izvestia published a readers' discussion in absentia on the Yukos problem. Among other reviews was the letter "I'll sit on the sidelines," in which the author Valery Pavlov, explaining his indifference towards the fight, says that, firstly, he has too little information to develop a personal position, and, secondly, secondly, he does not believe the one that is. However, the following passage is found in the letter: “Let’s remember the Russian Forbes lists. Who is there? list - Jews "...

Vera Panova answered Sergey Dovlatov in a similar situation: “Baby, this is anti-Semitism, after all ...”

We, for our part, draw attention to the fact that ethnicity has no visible connection with the Yukos affair, and it is not clear why to multiply groundless hints of the existence of such a connection.
