YUKOS co-owners Vladimir Dubov and Mikhail Brudno have every chance of becoming prime ministers. Yulia Tymoshenko became prime minister, and a wanted notice for her appeared on the Interpol website as inexplicably as the wanted notices for Dubov and Brudno at the end of last week. However, anyone who goes to the official Interpol website and goes to the Russian page will be in for a surprise.

We have never heard anything about this Ukrainian deputy before. We don’t even know if he is a relative of Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania. And this man threatens Berezovsky with reprisals: “If Viktor Yushchenko and Yulia Tymoshenko do not hand him over, I will do it myself.” It is not very clear how the deputy is going to do this.

In an interview with Russian Newsweek magazine, Khodorkovsky states that his political activity was only a pretext for the “YUKOS case.” The real reason was “the desire of a group of four or five individuals to take over a large and successful oil company.” It is obvious that the Kremlin has received an opponent who, even in prison, is not afraid to criticize the authorities.

Kommersant paid $ 11 million alpha. The decision of the arbitration court has been completed. The court decided that the publication of July 7, where it was said about lines in various branches of Alfa-Bank, caused the financial losses of this credit institution. It seems to be the triumph of the law: the article contained inaccurate information about the bank, the bank incurred losses, applied for protection to the judicial authorities, and justice triumphed.

The XIII International Christmas Readings, perhaps the largest and longest (from January 23 to 28) in all the years of their holding, have ended.

January 25, 13-30, Kalanchevskaya, 43, Moscow The red-haired bailiff Ivan Ivanovich, who ensures the order in the process of Khodorkovsky-Labedev, claims that it was so lucky for me, and usually everything is quiet here. But indeed: as soon as I came to the bourgeois court and sat on a bench in the corridor to wait for the end of the break and observe one session of this justice with my own eyes, as it began right in the corridor. A real city madman entered the court building.

Having failed to achieve success in international politics, the Kremlin decided to focus on its external side. In gratitude for the fact that the head of the Palestinian Authority went to Moscow on his first foreign visit, he is received as the leader of a foreign state. And he does not remain in debt.

The War Department achieved a remarkable victory. Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov reported that there were no incidents during the delivery of recruits to the regions. Moreover, it turns out that “for the first time, transportation by rail and air was carried out not experimentally, but according to plan.” Dozens of conscripts were not frozen out, as in December 2003, which is certainly an achievement. As well as the fact that they began to be transported by rail according to plan.

The British still lack scope. It seems to them that 88 million pounds (about 150 million dollars) is a lot of money. But in fact, our average oil worker takes this amount in the morning for unforeseen expenses. Simple arithmetic: Sibneft produces about 800 thousand barrels of oil per day. Now first multiply, then divide, and it turns out that Chelsea’s losses amounted to three to four working days for Sibneft. Agree - not a critical expense.
