22 Dec 13 - 09:57



The lack of rancor expressed by the former prisoner, Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky, in the hour or so he spent with a small group of Russian-speaking journalists was his most striking feature. Calm and businesslike in a dark blue suit and tie, he appeared fit and was decidedly feisty. Yet, at least for the moment, he said, he plans to stay well clear of Russian politics; certainly of his former oil company, Yukos, the giant concern that once made him Russia’s richest man; and probably of Russia i...
