The American edition of Sci/Tech Nation recently published by material, which focuses on the bribery of then-senators Barack Obama and John McCain Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Important detail, the disgraced oligarch at that time was in prison.
Speaking of bribery, the American edition has meant major financial tranche, which Mikhail Borisovich in 2006 has transported through its offshore American company APCO Worldwide. This structure in turn, it is officially engaged in lobbying certain laws.
In this case, it was about the resolution “Promotion of bilateral relations between the United States and Russia, as well as support for human rights and political prisoners in Russia. S. Res. 322 H. Res. 525”. The crux of the resolution, if possible simply: “release of Khodorkovsky, stop the prosecution of Platon Lebedev, only then we will assume you more or less democratic country. And, Yes, the judicial system you have there, in Russia, is rotten. Do something with it”.
The author of the resolution specified Joe Biden, co-authors-the developers have already mentioned above, McCain and Obama. In General, a very strange misalliance. Because McCain is a Republican, neo-conservative, hawk. And Obama is a Democrat, a liberal. But this is only at first glance a strange picture. In fact, these people United by at least 160 thousand dollars, which were aimed at “the promotion of the resolution”. Not that very much a global sum to the extent of the corruption schemes of the United States, but in General, and this “penny” is clearly superfluous.
The scheme according to which Khodorkovsky sent the money also deserves special attention. Funding was through two companies: Corbiere Trust, and the Palmus Trast. At the same Palmus 50% minus one share belonged to group “MENATEP”. And Corbiere statutory instruments, specified as the successor Manager and Trustee of the Palmus. Well, that’s the chain, from “Menatep” through two offshore companies, money and came to APCO Worldwide. The Director of the NGO, Margery Kraus, with an enviable constancy appears next to Khodorkovsky and his team. That is, it is a perennial, systematic partnership.
Interestingly, the notorious resolution No. 322 in nature there. Was approved by the U.S. Senate in late 2005. And it concerns precisely the fate of Khodorkovsky and Lebedev, democracy in Russia, and the fact that we have literally crammed political prisoners from prison.
If you consider the fact that Americans are “in advance” does not work, and payments, which managed to capture only dated 2006-m year, then obviously we are talking about a much more long term funding and where large sums of money. Just previous tranches were better camouflaged. Lobbying to start such a project made sense in the beginning of 2005. And had to pay regularly. So I think the amount of 160 thousand should be multiplied by three or four.
It is important to see in this situation: first and most importantly, Obama, McCain and Biden is already very long unfriendly to the Russian people. Regardless of the case of Magnitsky, Ukraine, Syria, or even South Ossetia. This friendliness not taught them to convert to the currency of none other than Mikhail Borisovich Khodorkovsky.
Frankly, in making each successive anti-Russian act we observe a clear financial trail that leads to Khodorkovsky, Browder, or other “trusted players” from the rich part of the Russian non-system opposition. This is the way of how to treat Russia, Khodorkovsky, and what is his words about “peaceful revolution” in Russia, “transition” and the fact that he’s one of the few genuine Russian patriots. It’s all blatant, blatant lie. In the name itself, Mikhail Borisovich would be happy to grind our country to dust. Fortunately, for this he even the American life is not enough.
Well, actually, the United States also has one unpleasant question. Look, in 2006, though not the most common, but the Russian easily ZK is buying U.S. senators, one of whom will become President, the second Vice-President, and the third is McCain, who “ideological patriot”.
That is, once again, the Russian criminal, the prisoner is in custody by the method not the biggest financial investments takes control of three U.S. senators, then, apparently, a greater amount, as the resolution the Senate adopts.
You, gentlemen, Americans do not think that you have some problems with national security, if your Federal politicians can be “dinner and dance” from the Russian prison?
