Sud Mesti: Pervaia Zhertva Dela IuKOSa

While most of the attention and sympathy is directed to Mikhail Khorodrkovskii, the first victim of the current Russian repressive machine is almost forgotten and overshadowed by his boss. Aleksei Pichugin, the head of the MENATEP economic security department, later the head of the IuKOS analytical department, was accused as instigator of the assassination of Gorins whose bodies were never found by investigators and at a place which never was determined. Pichugin was sentenced for 20 years in jail for the conversation which he allegedly had with the killers three years prior to when the alleged killing took place. This book is the story of a person whose arrest was just a first step in persecuting Khodorkovskii, but who showed himself as a strong dissenting man. This book also shows how the Russian authorities manipulate judges, juries and their verdicts.
