I've been telling my wife (who's Russian) for months that Putin is in the process of creating a future Russian leader, but this is the first article I've read that says the same:
"The jailing of Mikhail Khodorkovsky may have made the Russian oil tycoon an icon for President Vladimir Putin's liberal foes rather than rid the Kremlin of a potential rival, experts said."
Some questions:
1) Why is it that the Russians insist on creating their future leaders by putting them in jail first?
2) How (Why?) did Putin create a sympathetic character out of a billionaire?
