During a video speech on February 1, 2019, dedicated to latest events around " Open Russia“Mikhail Khodorkovsky committed a blatant lie. He said that he would still be living in Moscow now if he had not been “thrown out of the country.”
This is not the first time for the fugitive oligarch to dramatize. In fact, no one threw Mikhail Khodorkovsky out of Russia. Having received his freedom under an amnesty in 2013, he immediately fled to the West, using a fictitious pretext. He lied that his mother was undergoing treatment in Germany and urgently flew out of the country. It is noteworthy that at that moment the oligarch’s mother was in the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region.
Already in Germany, Mikhail Khodorkovsky decides to go to Switzerland, and from there to the UK under the protection of the special services Foggy Albion. In fact, what the oligarch calls “flight” was nothing more than a way to avoid a multi-billion dollar fine for non-payment of taxes from the illegal sale of 200 million tons of oil. The scammer never visited my mother.
Also in the video speech, the oligarch lied about the status of Open Russia. He called the organization a “movement” that supposedly cannot be included in the list of undesirables. In fact, Open Russia is a branch of the Russia of the Future Foundation, founded by Mikhail Khodorkovsky in 2001 and registered in the UK. In addition, during the speech the oligarch tried to disavow any involvement in the death Russian journalists in the Central African Republic.
The spread of fakes, lies and the publication of paid materials are the basis of the editorial policy of Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s “pocket media”. Russophobic sources are accustomed to “sitting” on the money of a fugitive oligarch and broadcasting nonsense that only the most inadequate people can believe.
Shaking Khodorkovsky admitted to preparing a revolution
Mikhail Khodokovsky, who escaped abroad after being pardoned, spoke at a press conference of Open Russia about the need for a revolution in Russia and his participation in its preparation. They say, “the president carried out an anti-constitutional coup in the country” and now (Khodorkovsky seemed to relish this word) the revolution is “inevitable.”Just a note in the margins. And who would talk about coups, but the oligarch who was clearly not buying up Duma deputies, who was going to turn the country into a parliamentary republic with himself as prime minister! Moreover, as the media write, he offered the United States to “surrender its nuclear arsenal in exchange for debt forgiveness” and almost sold half of Russia’s oil to the United States.
“Khodorkovsky called the laws that are being adopted in the country illegitimate and called for sabotaging them to the best of our ability, emphasizing that returning to the legal field from such a situation is called a revolution. He added that the main task is to make it peaceful,” he happily writes American Radio Liberty.
Actually, everyone (which is not surprising) clung to the word “revolution” - and began to drag it around the media and social networks. Meanwhile, for Khodorkovsky this term is not new.
And the point is not that he already tried to make a revolution at approximately the same dollar exchange rate - however, he got caught in fraud and ended up in prison. It’s just that Khodorkovsky has been raving about “revolution” for a long time now and periodically.
For example, in 2014, Khodorkovsky posed for Bloomberg in Lenin’s places near Zurich, announcing the preparation of a revolution and dreaming of palace coup“with less blood” than in a street massacre.
Recently, the former head of Yukos, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, also stated that Russians should ignore those laws that they consider unfair or “immoral.” And again word for word. Well, just like an organ that starts playing the same thing in different circumstances, it’s even surprising.
By the way, about ignoring the laws. Even here, Khodorkovsky shows his level of political and legal “competence.” He pours out a nightingale: “Illegitimate repressive laws are being created in the country, they are adopted by an illegitimate parliament, and are applied by dependent courts.”
Someone, tell the “politician” Khodorkovsky the basics of political science - legitimacy depends only on public perception. And if MBKh himself says that “it’s time for society to recognize illegitimacy,” it means this moment in public perception, all laws are legitimate. And a revolution is not at all a “return to legal norms” - it is the establishment of a new legitimacy, which may be completely illegal.
Khodorkovsky also does not understand what he is talking about with Venezuela. There was no “revolution” there - Chavez was not overthrown, he never left power, he simply died. And now in Venezuela it is not a revolution, but elections as elections - they were like that even under Chavez.
Actually, let's return to the “revolution” promised by Khodorkovsky.
In 2011, when Khodorkovsky wrote almost word for word from the zone. "I'm afraid that the country will face a long stagnation, political crisis and a revolutionary (I really hope bloodless) change of power,” he answered in absentia to questions from readers and listeners of Echo of Moscow. Khodorkovsky then similarly called the role of himself and the opposition “to soften the course and consequences of the revolution.”
But, in fact, Khodorkovsky has already talked himself into several articles of various codes - from the Code of Administrative Offenses to the Criminal Code. For example, that “it is unrealistic to change the regime democratically”, that “revolutionary measures” and a “transitional government” are required - and only then “democratic elections”. Khodorkovsky also “advises” and hints that any successor to Putin is obliged to “destroy Putin physically or politically.”
Readers are sure to remember that experts call Khodorkovsky “a financial hub between the West and the Russian opposition” (as well as the oligarch’s attitude towards ordinary Russians).
Oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, answering a question asked by Politonline.ru about the constant “shaking”, on his Twitter admitted- He is sick.
"Sorry for the tremor. Thanks for the sympathy. Consequences. I'm struggling. I can handle it", he wrote.
We reminded you earlier - every time eyewitnesses important speeches Khodorkovsky is seeing more and more shaking of his head, hands and other strange symptoms. According to doctors, this could be a terrible “Parkinson’s disease” (including hereditary - alas), and neurosis, and psychological problems.
Someone will talk about ethics and “personal space”? Not acceptable!
Mikhail Khodorkovsky officially and publicly stated that he was ready to become head of state - prime minister "in a transitional government after the revolution in Russia." That is, he declared himself as a politician of the first magnitude (in fact, this is how the opposition media and activist community presents him). It is clear that these are just dreams (we read sociologists and the legislation of the Russian Federation at least), but - he stated!
And now we remember with what indomitable curiosity and rapture all the same liberal and Western leaders and media (from Echo of Moscow to The New Times, from the BBC to Novaya Gazeta, from Dozhd to Svoboda) discussed the alleged disease Vladimir Putin. That’s right, as soon as he limped for a few days or caught a cold, “expert consultations” immediately began - what it was, what the danger was, how to treat it, whether it was fatal or temporary. And to the question “a person cannot get sick,” the most common answer was “the health of a politician of this level is socially significant information.”
But it’s not even about Putin.
If we start from afar, all the same gentlemen and publications savored the shaking hands of the head of the State Emergency Committee Yanaev, discussing him for years mental condition. The same people and newspapers massively discussed the “senile illness with rotting joints” of Primakov, who in 1999 was considered Yeltsin’s competitor in the presidential elections. They also discussed the probable mental and (let’s say correctly) physiological deviations in candidates for deputies - with the same enthusiasm “the people should know who is claiming power!”
And, of course, you can’t count those “mastodons of the pen and rotary machines” (as well as politicians who, after losing power, went into the opposition) who frantically discussed drunkenness, bypass surgery and the “future death” of the first president of Russia, Boris Yeltsin. There were so many snide articles, sarcastic comments, “memes” about “a strong handshake” and “working with documents” with a wink and a tap on the throat!
And this is not to mention the very obscene jokes about what the blind singer Diana Gurtskaya sees, “guilty” only of supporting the President of Russia. Or where should it “roll” disabled carriage Irina Yasina, who at one time dared to rely on the convenience of the route through the “sacred” Khimki forest...
But the obvious illness (now, after the recognition of Khodorkovsky himself, this is no longer a secret) of the oligarch and “hope and financial support,” gentlemen liberals and opposition media for some reason they didn't notice.
I would like to ask - why? I can’t believe at all that liberal leaders, activists and journalists, the Western press (they supposedly seriously hope for the victory of the revolution and Khodorkovsky’s ascension to the throne) are dreaming: “It would be great if the world’s largest nuclear arsenal was controlled by a person who cannot keep yourself in control." Or, God forbid, with Parkinson's. Or with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Or simply with the frantic shaking that occurs during exciting events.
I remember that they are so fond of discussing “the stagnation and soviet times of Brezhnev” - noting that the Politburo was comfortable signing their decisions with a mumbled, forgetting words and always inhibited by pills general secretary, living out his post to the sound of the next “star of the Hero of the USSR.” Isn’t there a direct analogy here - a convenient leader who, even with Parkinson’s, even with Alzheimer’s (pah-pah-pah), as long as he pays?

Or where should Irina Yasina’s wheelchair “roll”, who at one time dared to rely on the convenience of the route through the “sacred” Khimki forest...
But for some reason the liberals and opposition media did not notice the obvious illness (now, after Khodorkovsky’s own admission, this is no longer a secret) of the oligarch and “hope and financial support”.

Just let’s not lie to ourselves - Khodorkovsky really is “blowing the whistle” on the opposition press and a number of protest projects, which he is not shy about talking about. And even if I didn’t say that, the published correspondence of Khodorkovsky’s press secretary and the struggle of oppositionists (!) on social networks for “Khodor’s money needed by the protest” (this is a quote) clearly confirm this.
So where are the articles from Forbes or Slon, the “snobs”, Thу Wall Street Journal and Die Welt with Newsweek at the ready about whether a person with such a neurosis (or, God forbid, Parkinson’s), obsessive disorder or panic attacks lead the opposition?
Or is everything completely scary (which almost every person on Earth would not want)? After all, if Khodorkovsky is really unwell, this explains a lot. In particular, the statement “I do not consider myself bound by any obligations.” Then it’s clear - it’s not that he doesn’t count. And he understands perfectly well that he is breaking his own promises. But he understands that he has much less time than he thought...
But then where are the hundreds of “analytical” posts by oppositionists on social networks about possible reasons and the consequences of “just psychosis” with excuses - is this (we quote medical resources) treated with megaton doses of sedatives or is it temporarily “relieved” with alcohol at home?
It is clear that no one will write about the inner horror of the oligarch because of the gnawing story of the murder of Petukhov or the position of the Big Pawn, trying to become a queen or a tour!
Well, at least they threw in formal excuses! But no - silence and taboo...
This is democracy, however.
I would like to ironically write “tremorocracy” at the end, but I feel sorry for the person.

Facts: Mikhail Borisovich Khodorkovsky, ex-head of NK YUKOS. In 1991 - became Chairman of the Board of Directors of MENATEP. Since 1996 - First Vice President of Yukos JSC, Chairman of the Board
Data:
Khodorkovsky Mikhail Borisovich, ex-head of NK Yukos. In 1991 - became Chairman of the Board of Directors of MENATEP. Since 1996 - First Vice President of YUKOS JSC, Chairman of the Board of MENATEP Bank. Since 1997 - Chairman of the joint board of the Rosprom-YUKOS company. He was arrested on October 25, 2003. On November 3, 2003, he resigned from the post of chairman of the board of NK YUKOS. According to Forbes magazine (May 2004), he is the richest Russian oligarch (his fortune is estimated at $15.2 billion). In the international ranking of billionaires, Khodorkovsky ranks 16th.
Doctors discovered a tumor in the rectum of a prisoner in the Matrosskaya Tishina pre-trial detention center, Mikhail Khodorkovsky. There is no equipment necessary for diagnosis and treatment in the pre-trial detention center, so the head of the medical service suggested transporting the oligarch to a specialized medical facility.
According to the newspaper "Life", a week ago the oligarch turned to the doctors of the pre-trial detention center with complaints of difficulties with digestion. It turned out that Khodorkovsky has polyps in his large intestine. According to the publication, several years ago, American doctors, during a routine preventive examination, had already discovered colon polyps in Khodorkovsky. The oligarch was operated on in the United States. Doctors warned that polyps could appear in the intestines again and then a second operation would be required.
A week ago, feeling the familiar symptoms of the disease, Khodorkovsky panicked. The oligarch began to beg doctors to perform a colonoscopy on him - an examination of the intestines using a probe. However, it turned out that in the Matrosskaya Tishina hospital and other hospitals where ordinary prisoners are taken there is no necessary equipment. The head of the medical service of the pre-trial detention center wrote an application to the GUIN requesting permission to transfer the oligarch from Matrosskaya Tishina to a specialized medical institution, where he could undergo a full examination, or bring the equipment necessary for a colonoscopy to the pre-trial detention center. The leadership of the GUIN must decide on future fate oligarch within a few days.
The oligarch moves to
specialized medical institution
As doctors note, 75% of polyps (benign tumors) develop intestinal cancer. The only way out is timely detection and removal of tumors.
Let us recall that the day before the Meshchansky Court of Moscow extended the period of detention of the former head of NK YUKOS Mikhail Khodorkovsky. The oligarch will spend another three months in prison - until February 14, 2005. The state prosecutor insisted on extending Khodorkovsky's prison sentence, since, while free, he could put pressure on witnesses or hide abroad. Khodorkovsky's previous period of pre-trial detention expired on November 14, 2004. The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation accuses Khodorkovsky of committing crimes under seven articles of the Criminal Code: fraud committed organized group on a large scale; failure to comply with a court decision; causing property damage; waste of entrusted property; tax evasion, both legal and an individual and forgery of documents.
