On September 9, the leader of the “right-hand business” Mikhail Prokhorov expressed confidence that he would not befell the fate of the ex-head of “Yukos” Mikhail Khodorkovsky, since, having come to politics, he refused to business. He stated this during the online interview with Gazeta.ru. "As for the incident with Mikhail Khodorkovsky and my case, they, in my opinion, are incomparable. I publicly left the business and headed the political party. I did this within the framework of Russian laws. And at the same time I do not do anything forbidden. It seems to me if Mikhail Borisovich did this, the results would not have been engaged in politics, being as the head of a large company," said Prokhorov.
