The website of the New Times collapsed after the announcement of the interview of Khodorkovsky

The website of the New Times , which announced an interview with Mikhail Khodorkovsky, collapsed due to the influx of visitors immediately after the announcement. This is the first interview that Khodorkovsky gave after release.

Journalists managed to lay out the first 40 seconds of conversation with the ex-head of Yukos on YouTube. Evgeny Albatz, the chief of the publication, asks how Khodorkovsky had a sleep on the first night at large - and for the first time not on a prison shk. He clarifies that the prisoner has three -day dates that were available for 4 years out of 10, which he conducted in prison. At this time, Zek has a normal bed.

"Echo of Moscow" reports that the site is not responsible due to the influx of visitors - the edition of the radio station reported this.

On the eve of the New Times, for whom Khodorkovsky wrote a column about his life in prison, said that he called the editorial office and thanked the journalists for his support. "After 10 years, now is an incredible feeling of freedom. I am grateful to you and everyone who has supported me all this time. There is still much to the liberation of those hostages who are still in prison, first of all, this is Plato Lebedev. I love everyone, I am happy. The most important thing is freedom, freedom, freedom."

On Saturday, a photo of Khodorkovsky appeared on the Web in the same interiors in which, judging by the video, the interview was shot.

The former head of Yukos immediately after pardon went to Berlin with a private plane. It is reported that he had already met with his eldest son Paul, as well as that his parents flew to Berlin. On Sunday, Khodorkovsky will give a press conference in the Museum of the Berlin Wall. It is assigned at 13 hours (16:00 Moscow time).
