“Lunch against Putin’: Kremlin critic explains Russia’s “serious vulnerability”. Former oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky has been a sharp critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin for decades.

Putin controls political power, the economy, the media and the electoral system. The West must now aim for this - and deal a blow to Putin's external legitimacy, says Khodorkshpovski. But one cannot congratulate him on his election as President of Russia and wish him a successful term.
