National Geographic о Ходорковском.

Читал статью про Ханты-Мансийскйи округ в журнале. Ну обычная статья, как нефть сделала Сибирь привлекательной и вдруг - БАБАЦ! - мнение жителей Нефтюганска про 90-е. Там черным по белому: ЮКОС устроил терррор в городе, убил мэра, захватывал производство, выкидывая людей на улицу подыхать от голода и холода. И прямо так говорится, вообще-то ХОДОРКОВСКИЙ (!) не такой уж белый и пушистый, а вполне кровожадный олигарх-убица. Я просто прифигел!
Это всем нашим английским мычащим уточкам по поводу того, какой несчастный Ходор и его кореш Невзлядь.

For more than ten years oil has been at the center of a violent and chaotic power struggle in Nefteyugansk. The difficulties began in the mid-1990s, when a nouveau riche Moscow banker snagged one of Russia's prime oil producers-and the town's sole large employer-in a privatization auction. The banker, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, made the Nefteyugansk unit the core subsidiary in his new oil company, known as Yukos. But he antagonized the city by delaying tax payments, causing city workers to go unpaid for months. Mayor Petukhov, a former neftyanik, led public protests against the new Moscow owners, who, he said, "spit into our faces, the faces of oilers." The mayor's murder, at the age of 48, outraged the townspeople, many of whom connected the deed to his stand against Yukos. "This blood is on your hands," read anti-Yukos banners put up at city hall by Petukhov's mourners.
For five years no one was brought to justice. During this time the city was governed by a corrupt official who eventually was sent to jail for swindling oil workers out of their promised retirement homes in Russia's balmy Black Sea region. Oil prices, meanwhile, went ever higher, inflating the value of Khodorkovsky's holdings. And then the hammer came down.
