Yukos hit with new $4bn tax bill
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4625960.stm
"Stricken Russian oil company Yukos has been hit with a new claim for unpaid taxes and fines totalling 107bn rubles ($3.79bn; £2.15bn)"
The fact that most of his targets are Jewish might lead one to believe he's going after the Jews. Or is Putin tapping into Russian anti-semitism for his own ends?
How does it affect our relationship with Russia if the UK permits investment by Russian millionaires (e.g. recently Alexandre Gaydamak and Portsmouth), effectively taking a share of what Putin believes to be his (or Russia's)?
