After the collapse of the soviet empire between 1989-1991 the russian state embarked on the privatization of its state owned industries. A small group of private businessmen eventually took control of russia’s major industries. In 1996 it was estimated that they controlled 50% of the russian economy, "Fridman was one of the Big Seven, the original group of oligarchs who bankrolled the 1996 reelection of President Boris Yeltsin and who claimed to then control 50 percent of Russia's assets." (‘Mikhail Fridman: Oil Tycoon’ Frontline World http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/moscow/fridman.html October 2003).

According to david hoffman, the zionists’ rise to power can be seen in three stages. No matter how much zionist control over russia’s economic and political systems might seem to resemble something out of the ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zionism’ hoffman’s analysis shows that there was no original conspiracy that started the take-over. It evolved by accident and became conspiratorial only in 1994. "The evolution of Russia's oligarchs over the past ten years can be broken down into three distinct phases. The first of these phases coincides with the early days of Gorbachev's reform initiatives, when state control of the economy began to loosen and opportunities for turning an easy profit first appeared. In the second phase of the oligarchs' development, banking became the endeavor of choice. In September of 1994, the oligarchs embarked on the third phase of their development with the formation of a private club designed to facilitate the transformation of their wealth into political power. The paramount issue was how to limit competition among themselves so that each could focus on accumulating as much wealth as possible. The fruits of this cooperation came in schemes like the loans for shares program, export control manipulation and culminated in the Davos pact that helped to re-elect Yeltsin. It was during this period that the oligarchs began searching for political sponsorship and influence within the Kremlin. The oligarchs also began to diversify their holdings, expanding their holdings to include ownership of natural resource companies and media outlets." (David Hoffman ‘Oligarchic Capitalism in Russia: The Past, Present and Future’ Carnegie Endowment for International Peace’ http://www.ceip.org/files/events/events.asp?EventID=463 February 27, 2002).

In the mid 1990s, the zionist oligarchs had acquired half of the russian economy and, to help them protect and enhance their interests, they worked together to re-elect boris yeltsin for a second term in office as russia’s president. At this point in time, it has been alleged that there were seven russian oligarchs, six of them zionist, conspiring together to re-elect yeltsin. The conspiracy to re-elect yeltsin defines the ‘big seven’, "the Big Seven, the original group of oligarchs who bankrolled the 1996 reelection of President Boris Yeltsin and who claimed to then control 50 percent of Russia's assets." (‘Mikhail Fridman: Oil Tycoon’ Frontline World http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/moscow/fridman.html October 2003). Unfortunately, it is a little difficult working out who belongs in this classification. The following were members of russia’s ‘big seven’ zionist oligarchs.

"By 1991, Alekperov had established himself as an industry expert, winning an appointment as first deputy minister of fuel and energy, then as acting minister. He used his newly attained power to lobby for the consolidation of Russia's three oil producers into one company - then assumed presidency of the new company. His nicknames, "the General," "Alek the First" and "the Don," are indicative of his indisputable authority at LUKoil, whose name came from the first letters of the three companies that consolidated - Langepas, Urai and Kogalym. Today LUKoil is among the world's most powerful oil companies, with reserves second only to Exxon. Like many other oligarchs, Alekperov has moved into banking and media." (‘Vagit Alekperov: Oil Magnate’ Frontline World http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/moscow/alekperov.html October 2003); "Another "former" Commie who turned his government career into a fortune: a first deputy minister of energy under the old regime, Comrade Alekperov snapped up Lukoil, the largest oil company in Russia, under the "shares for loans" ersatz-privatization scheme cooked up by "the Family" as a pay-off for their support to the Yeltsin regime. (Justin Raimondo ‘Now They're After Putin: The hypocrites of the "democratic" West set their sights on Russia’ http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j121003.html December 10, 2003); "In 2003, LUKoil negotiated new exploration contracts in western Iran, Egypt's Gulf of Suez, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. In 2002, LUKoil signed a six-year contract with Ecopetrol (Empresa Colombiana de Petroleos), the Colombian state oil company, to explore and produce in the Llanos petroleum basin. LUKoil also owns its own refineries and filling stations, including 1,300 in the United States, which it acquired after its purchase of Getty Oil in 2000. LUKoil was the first Russian company to acquire a publicly traded U.S. corporation." (‘Vagit Alekperov: Oil Magnate’ Frontline World http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/moscow/alekperov.html October 2003).

"In 1996, Berezovsky teamed up with other powerful Russian bankers to form the Big Seven, a group of oligarchs that underwrote Yeltsin's reelection campaign. Berezovsky viewed himself as a king-maker, and he was a major force in ousting some senior officials and electing others." (‘Boris Berezovksy: Russia’s Fallen Oligarch’ Frontline World http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/moscow/berezovsky.html October 2003); "Paul Klebnikov tells the incredible story of Boris Berezovsky, a one-time Russian car dealer who assembled a huge - and illicit - fortune after the collapse of Communism. "This individual had risen out of nowhere to become the richest businessman in Russia and one of the most powerful individuals in the country," writes Klebnikov, a respected reporter for Forbes." (John J. Miller ‘Editorial Reviews’ Amazon.com). Klebnikov was shot dead shortly after the publication of his book about the rise of the hoodlum oligarchs. In the mid-1990s Berezovsky became deputy head of the Russian security council. "At the peak of his power Berezovsky owned a television network, Russia's biggest car company and its national airline." (Sabrina Tavernise Frontline World http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/moscow/thestory.html October 28 2003); "Berezovksy also was instrumental in Putin's 2000 election victory before the two men's falling-out, which began over Berezovsky's public criticism of Putin for his slow response to the deadly sinking of the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk. (‘Boris Berezovksy: Russia’s Fallen Oligarch’ Frontline World http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/moscow/berezovsky.html October 2003).

"Fellow oligarch Roman Abramovich became Deripaska's partner; in early 2000, the two created a joint venture called Russian Aluminum (RusAl). Today, RusAl has $4 billion in annual sales and is the world's second-largest aluminum producer. Deripaska owns 75 percent of the company. His other businesses include power stations, Russia's largest car and commercial vehicle manufacturer, and the country's largest insurance company. Deripaska is married to Polina Yumashev, the daughter of former President Boris Yeltsin's chief of staff. Deripaska's father-in-law in turn married Yeltsin's daughter, which makes Deripaska a grandson of Yeltsin by marriage." (‘Oleg Deripaska: Aluminium King’ Frontline World http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/moscow/deripaska.html October 2003).

"Fridman's partner, Peter Aven, was Russia's minister of foreign economic affairs. Fridman was one of the Big Seven, the original group of oligarchs who bankrolled the 1996 reelection of President Boris Yeltsin and who claimed to then control 50 percent of Russia's assets." (‘Mikhail Fridman: Oil Tycoon’ Frontline World http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/moscow/fridman.html October 2003); "Galmond, it transpires, is the owner of Ipoc, which hit the headlines 10 days ago after scoring a significant victory in its long-running legal battle with Alfa Group, the oil and banking conglomerate run by controversial Russian oligarch Mikhail Fridman. On the other side, timely reminders have surfaced of an old and embarrassing row between Fridman and BP over the ownership of Russian oil firm Sidanco, although relations were patched up and Fridman is now a major strategic partner of the British oil giant."

"He (Gusinsky) started small, as a provincial theatre director in the early 80s, then as an illegal commercial taxi driver in Moscow before starting a small metal-working firm. In the early 90s, he moved into banking and property. He used his fortune to found NTV, Russia's biggest private television channel, and the hard-hitting daily newspaper, Segodnya, in 1993. He also launched a glossy weekly news magazine, Itogi, in partnership with Newsweek." (Ian Traynor ‘Russia turns against irreverent oligarch’ The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,332213,00.html June 15, 2000); "The 50-year-old businessman, who once controlled Russia's biggest independent television station, NTV ..." (Helena Smith ‘Russian tycoon goes free’ The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,1063066,00.html October 15, 2003); "In 1993, Gusinsky launched his first independent newspaper, Sevodnya, which put him on his way to becoming "Russia's Rupert Murdoch." Using connections from his earlier days, Gusinsky called upon Deputy Mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov for help in gaining control of the television station Channel 4. With Russia's war in Chechnya just beginning, Gusinsky's station was critical of President Boris Yeltsin and his policies. In 1996, however, when a Communist Party presidential candidate presented a real threat to Yeltsin's reelection, the rising media magnate suspended all criticism. After Yeltsin won the reelection, Gusinsky was awarded the country's first private television network, NTV, and his media conglomerate, Media-MOST, expanded to include a satellite communications network, a series of radio stations and magazines, such as Itogi, jointly published with Newsweek." (‘Vladimir Gusinksy: Media Magnate’ Frontline World http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/moscow/gusinsky.html October 2003).

Khodorkovsky bought one of the world's leading fertilizer companies, "Russian prosecutors say that in 1994 Mr. Khodorkovsky fraudulently obtained Apatit, a government-owned company that was one of the world's leading producers of fertilizer. Only four bidders competed for a 20 percent stake in the company and all were fronts for Mr. Khodorkovsky, prosecutors say. The highest bidder made a $1 billion offer but then dropped out. The sale went to the lowest bidder, say prosecutors, with an offer of only $283 million in cash and investments. (Timothy L O'Brien and Erin E.

"As the Soviet Union collapsed at the end of the 1980s, he (Leonid Nevzlin) moved into banking and within two years joined Yukos Oil as a top executive. Cleverly, he helped re-elect Yeltsin to the presidency in the mid-1990s and was awarded a medal for his efforts. He was not alone in supporting Yeltsin. Many prominent Jewish figures in oil, banking and media spent money to keep Yeltsin in power." (Fred Lingel ‘Israel Offers Sanctuary to Accused Billionaire-Murderer’ American Free Press Aug 16, 2004 http://www.libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=63569); "Nevzlin is the second-biggest shareholder in oil giant Yukos, and holds Khodorkovsky's voting rights in the company, according to the Wall Street Journal."

After the re-election of yeltsin in 1996, new members began to join the big seven russian oligarchs. By the end of 2003 it was estimated there were 17 russian oligarchs - although how many of them are zionist is not known. "Khodorkovsky is one of Russia's "oligarchs," a group of 17 billionaires who acquired sudden wealth in the 1990s after the Soviet Union collapsed and they bought government properties at fire-sale prices. Polls show that most Russians deeply resent the oligarchs. Most of them are young; Khodorkovsky is 40. And many of them, including Khodorkovsky, are Jewish." (William Schneider ‘Putin's Arresting Move’ American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research http://www.aei.org/news/newsID.19403,filter./news_detail.asp October 31, 2003).

"Abramovich attributes much of his success to the patronage of oil magnate Boris Berezovsky, who introduced him to Yeltsin's inner circle. By 1996, Abramovich joined the board of directors for Sibneft, Berezovsky's most prized oil holding, and was later put in charge of the company's Moscow offices. After Berezovsky fell out of favor with the new Putin regime, Abramovich took over his patron's oil assets and the country's largest television network. In 2000, Abramovich expanded his empire to form the multibillion-dollar company Russian Aluminum while also branching out into politics. First winning a seat in the State Duma (the lower chamber of the Russian parliament), Abramovich then became governor of Chukotka, a position he has held for two years. The desolate Russian province has become a sort of personal project for Abramovich - he has spent tens of millions of dollars of his own money building new homes, supermarkets, hotels and cinemas in Chukotka. Critics say his real motives are control over the region's natural resources and perhaps greater political aspirations. Abramovich's assets are managed offshore through his investment fund Millhouse Capital, located in Britain, which Abramovich seems to slowly be making his home."

(Notebook ‘Robber barons are in a whole new ball game’ The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/story/0,,991058,00.html July 4, 2003). According to peter lavelle, lebedev is a billionaire.

The observer newspaper refers to other russian oligarchs ­ although it is not known whether they are zionist or not, "And BP is still trying to sound confident about its TNK deal. 'We have an excellent set of agreements,' a spokesman said last week. 'We expect all partners to stick to those agreements.' Those partners, the Russian oligarchs Mikhail Fridman, Viktor Vekselberg and Len Blavatnik, are pushing to be paid early for their 50 per cent stake in TNK. They are due staggered payments totalling $3.75bn in BP shares over the next three years. But the Russians say they have spotted other investment opportunities, and want their money now - in cash."

Boris yeltsin won his first presidential election in 1991. His health was already bad and continued to worsen over the following years. Increasingly he had to rely on others to carry out his presidential duties. According to paul klebnikov, boris berezovsky was one of yeltin’s main advisers. "Before assuming the editorship of Forbes Russia, he (klebnikov) was best known for his research into the business and connections of the so-called oligarch Boris Berezovsky, whom he accused of corruption and excessive influence over the Kremlin during the presidency of Boris Yeltsin, from 1991 to 1999." (Carolynne Wheeler and Christopher Reed ‘American journalist probing Russian business’ The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/obituaries/story/0,,1262387,00.html July 16, 2004).

In the mid 1990s putin was a member of the federal security bureau, the successor to the soviet union's kgb. During his work he came into contact with some of the zionist oligarchs who were impressed with his efficiency and honesty. They regarded him as someone who could help them so they reciprocated by boosting his career. Putin’s rise through the ranks was meteoric and was possible only with the support, or at the very least the approval, of the zionist oligarchs. In september 1999, putin was appointed to the post of prime minister. "In the 1990s, they were friends: Berezovsky remembers the young Putin as the one Petersburg bureaucrat who did what he promised and didn't need to be bribed to do it. Later that decade, Berezovsky stood by Putin as Yevgeny Primakov ­ Boris Yeltsin's penultimate, rather sinister, prime minister ­ seemed set to assume the crown." (Bret Stephens ‘Boris Berezovsky: Putin's Russia 'dangerous for Israel'’ July 5 2004).

Once putin had been elected as president, he began to curb the power of the zionist oligarchs. "Once Putin came to power, however, his inclination to repay his patron's favors waned. In his first state of the nation address in July 2000, Putin said Russia would no longer tolerate "shadowy groups" in its midst. People knew just who he meant." (Bret Stephens ‘Boris Berezovsky: Putin's Russia 'dangerous for Israel'’ July 5 2004).

The first of the zionist oligarchs that putin acted against was boris berezovsky. "In 1999, he (Berezovksy) won a seat in the State Duma (the lower chamber of the Russian parliament), but six months later, amid unrelenting pressure from the new regime of President Vladimir Putin, Berezovksy resigned and soon fled Russia. The Russian Prosecutor General's office charged Berezovsky in absentia with complicity to fraud, complicity not to return hard currency from abroad, and money laundering." (‘Russia’s Fallen Oligarch’ Frontline World http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/moscow/berezovsky.html October 2003); "Within months Berezovsky was forced to divest his stakes in the oil company Sibneft, in Aeroflot, and in ORT TV. The political party he helped found and for which he briefly served as a deputy in the Duma, the Liberal Russia Party, has seen two of its leaders murdered. By November, Berezovsky had gone into self-described political exile." (Bret Stephens ‘Boris Berezovsky: Putin's Russia 'dangerous for Israel'’ July 5 2004). Given berezovsky’s wealth and power and his inside knowledge of the kremlin, it was a major political accomplishment for putin to have been able to dispossess berezovsky and force him into exile. Berezovsky, reflecting on all that he and the other zionist oligarchs had done for putin, must have had reasons to complain about putin’s treachery towards them.

Putin’s next target was vladimir gusinsky. After putin’s convincing defeat of berezovsky, it might have been thought that the other members of israel’s oligarchy in russia might have started to act a little more cautiously towards him. Instead, doubtlessly seeing him as a newcomer to russian politics without the necessary expertise and power base, they decided to battle against him to regain their power and protect their ill-gotten gains.

Despite the fact that putin had forced one zionist oligarch into exile and imprisoned another, some of the other zionist oligarchs were still unwilling to release their grip on power. The next zionist oligarch to take up the challenge of ousting putin was mikhail khodorkovsky, "He (Khodorkovsky) then began confronting Mr. Putin, newly installed as Russia's president, more directly and persistently. He spoke out on political matters and spent mightily on public relations efforts in the West to burnish his image as a reformer — moves that drew the ire of Mr. Putin and others. Meanwhile, Yukos spread its financial support among a variety of political parties that promoted the company's business interests. The objective, said a recent report by a local brokerage firm, Sovlink Securities, was to increase Yukos's parliamentary influence and force Mr. Putin "to negotiate with them on an equal-to-equal basis.""

Despite khodorkovsky’s accumulation of political power, the russian police carried out raids on yukos’s headquarters to investigate its financial probity. Khodorkovsky was arrested shortly afterwards, "Mikhail Khodorkovsky, 40, the multibillionaire who runs Yukos, has already been arrested and questioned over irregularities in his acquisition of the firm from the state. Yukos offices were raided last month and documents taken." (David Black ‘Kremlin threat to US-Yukos deal’ The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/story/0,,1011745,00.html August 4, 2003).

The raid on yukos led to the arrest of another member of the yukos board - who also happened to be another zionist oligarch. "Some believe this (Putin’s warning to the oligarchs to temper their political ambitions) is behind the arrest of Platon Lebedev, Mr Khodorkovsky's friend at the Yukos oil corporation, plus the charges against that company's security chief. The other interpretation is, of course, that Mr Lebedev faces legitimate questions over whether he stole assets from a state-owned fertiliser plant nine years ago." (Notebook ‘Robber barons are in a whole new ball game’ The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/story/0,,991058,00.html July 4, 2003).

Khodorkovsky was sent to prison in october 2003, "Mr. Khodorkovsky failed to heed that message and his arrest in October on murky fraud charges has set off an international debate about Russia's economic and political course." (Timothy L O'Brien and Erin E. Aryedlund ‘Putin vs. the Jailed Tycoon: Defining Russia's New Rules’ New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/02/international/europe/02YUKO.html

Putin had so far neutralized four of the zionist oligarchs. The political pressure he was exerting against them resulted in another member fleeing into exile, "Nevzlin fled Russia for Israel last week after Khodorkovsky's arrest. He is the second-biggest shareholder in oil giant Yukos, and holds Khodorkovsky's voting rights in the company, according to the Wall Street Journal." (Dafna Maor ‘Hounded Russian oil barons meet in Israel’ http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/366788.html 30/11/2003).

From the mid 1990s onwards, the russian public had become increasingly resentful of their new zionist masters who were amassing staggering wealth whilst, at the same time, millions of ordinary russians were wallowing into poverty. Thankfully there was a russian politician capable of challenging these zionist bloodsuckers and protecting russian interests. Putin achieved the incredible political feat of neutralizing some of the wealthiest and most powerful figures in russia. What made this accomplishment even greater was that he’d started off as an ally, seemingly a servant, of the zionist elite but within a few short years had ended up becoming their master.

Many of the zionist oligarchs have been arrested, put in prison, or pushed into exile. But some have sought accommodation with putin. As yet none of them has been expropriated of all their wealth. Some of the issues that arose during the zionist oligarchs’ take over of the country in the 1990s have still to be resolved. In other words, it is still too soon to write off zionist oligarchs’ influence over russian politics.

Russia’s oligarchs are not merely people who happen to be jews. They are zionists who regard the zionist state in palestine as their home and who collaborate with other zionists around the world to promote their own interests, the interests of global zionism, and the interests of the zionist state in palestine. It is not possible to understand russia’s oligarchs without an appreciation of their zionism, their zionist allies around the world, and their support for global zionist domination.

"Billionaire Roman Abramovich, Russia's second-richest man and principal owner of oil producer Sibneft, visited Israel secretly last week to meet with Leonid Nevzlin, the deputy and partner of imprisoned oil baron Mikhail Khodorkovsky." (Dafna Maor ‘Hounded Russian oil barons meet in Israel’ http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/366788.html 30/11/2003).

Berezovsky took up zionist citizenship in the early 1990s, "There was a minor scandal when it became known that he (like most of the oligarchs) had acquired Israeli citizenship, but he gave up his Israeli passport and everything was in order again. (Uri Avnery ‘The Virgin of Democracy Became a Whore in US, Russia, Israel’ CounterPunch http://www.counterpunch.org/avnery08032004.html August 3rd 2004).

"He (Berezovsky) jointly owns a Russian-language Israeli newspaper with Gusinsky ..." (Bret Stephens ‘Boris Berezovsky: Putin's Russia 'dangerous for Israel'’ July 5 2004).

Many of russia’s zionist oligarchs have fled to the zionist state in palestine. The zionist state refuses to recognize international laws and refuses to extradite jew back to those countries where they have committed crimes. As far as the zionist state in palestine is concerned, no matter what crimes jews commit around the world they will be given a safe haven in the zionist state. The zionist state does not regard jewish crimes committed beyond its borders as having any judicial substance inside its borders. To put it bluntly, the attitude of the renegade zionist state is that zionists are free to steal from goyim and then find refuge in the zionist state. The zionist state ignores pleas by governments seeking the extradition of jews. "Israel has steadily become a safe haven for East European oil billionaires and organized crime figures of Jewish origin. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Israeli authorities have been complicit in issuing passports to men wanted on international warrants or others who have been identified by western intelligence agencies as prominent organized crime bosses. The advantage of fleeing to Israel is that it does not have extradition treaties with most European nations and maintains a policy of not handing over Jews to any nation, including the United States, its "closest ally." (Fred Lingel ‘Israel Offers Sanctuary to Accused Billionaire-Murderer’ American Free Press Aug 16, 2004 http://www.libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=63569). This is why robert maxwell, who stole the life savings of thousands of british pensioners, was given a hero’s burial in jerusalem by the zionist prime minister of the day.

"In the end, there was a reaction: Vladimir Putin, the taciturn and tough ex-KGB operative, assumed power, took control of the media, put one of the oligarchs (Mikhail Khodorkovsky) in prison, caused the others to flee (Berezovsky is in England, Vladimir Gusinsky is in Israel, another, Mikhail Chernoy, is assumed to be hiding here.)."

The two oligarchs, now Israeli citizens, were invited to Washington by Republican Representative Tom Lantos, a prominent critic of Kremlin policy, to attend a National Prayer Breakfast and meet with government officials. Leonid Nevzlin, another exiled Yukos shareholder wanted in Russia, was also invited, a source in the U.S. Congress said Thursday. Brudno and Dubov had a private session with Lantos and were scheduled to meet with officials from the State Department and National Security Council."

Chernoy is believed to be residing in the zionist state in palestine.

In april 2001, "Mr Gusinsky, who is in Spain fighting Russian efforts to have him indicted on corruption charges .." (Leader ‘Silencing Russia's media. Mr Blair should not keep quiet’ The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/leaders/story/0,,474297,00.html April 18, 2001). Then he moved to greece, "The former Russian media mogul Vladimir Gusinsky, accused of money laundering and fraud in Russia, was yesterday told he was a free man after a Greek court rejected a controversial extradition request. Under Greek law the tycoon's actions "did not constitute a crime," the judge said. Wanted on suspicion of a $250m (£160m) fraud, Mr Gusinsky fled Moscow after disagreements with the Kremlin in 2000. He was arrested on an international warrant at Athens airport in August. The 50-year-old businessman, who once controlled Russia's biggest independent television station, NTV, told judges at an earlier hearing that he would be unable to defend himself in Russia." (Helena Smith ‘Russian tycoon goes free’ The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,1063066,00.html October 15, 2003). Gusinsky is currently residing in the zionist state in palestine. "Now, Greece has refused to extradite Gusinsky and he is on his way back to Israel, where he moved after fleeing Russia in 2000." (Cdeliso ‘The Oligarchs’ Menace’ balkanalysis.com http://www.balkanalysis.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=161 October 19 2003).

Khodorkovsky was arrested in october 2003 and is currently in a russian prison.

"Billionaire Roman Abramovich … visited Israel secretly last week to meet with Leonid Nevzlin, the deputy and partner of imprisoned oil baron Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Nevzlin fled Russia for Israel last week after Khodorkovsky's arrest. He is the second-biggest shareholder in oil giant Yukos, and holds Khodorkovsky's voting rights in the company, according to the Wall Street Journal." (Dafna Maor ‘Hounded Russian oil barons meet in Israel’ http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/366788.html 30/11/2003).

"According to a Nov. 3 Agence France-Presse story, Khodorkovsky made a deal with Jacob Rothschild this year that control of the yukos giant would pass to Rothschild in the event of Khodorkovsky’s arrest. However, the Russian government has frozen all yukos assets for the time being. It is significant that yukos’s liberal pressure group, the Open Russia Foundation, is completely controlled by Rothschild now that its founder is in jail. As their official mission statement reads, "The motivation for the establishment of the Open Russia Foundation is the wish to foster enhanced openness, understanding and integration between the people of Russia and the rest of the world." Their board of trustees includes Rothschild and Henry Kissinger. The Washington, D.C. launch of the organization included Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) and Librarian of Congress James Billington, one of the leading voices against Russian traditionalism in the academic establishment. Significantly, the Open Russia Foundation recently provided Yale University with substantial grants to study the Russian economy as well as providing the Carnegie Foundation with 3 percent of its entire operating budget."

"On closer inspection, it turns out that this so-called "mounting criticism" (of putin after beslan) is in fact being driven by a specific group in the Russian political spectrum - and by its American supporters. The leading Russian critics of Putin's handling of the Beslan crisis are the pro-US politicians Boris Nemtsov and Vladimir Ryzhkov - men associated with the extreme neoliberal market reforms which so devastated the Russian economy under the west's beloved Boris Yeltsin - and the Carnegie Endowment's Moscow Centre. Funded by its New York head office, this influential thinktank - which operates in tandem with the military-political Rand Corporation, for instance in producing policy papers on Russia's role in helping the US restructure the "Greater Middle East" - has been quoted repeatedly in recent days blaming Putin for the Chechen atrocities. The centre has also been assiduous over recent months in arguing against Moscow's claims that there is a link between the Chechens and al-Qaida." (John Laughland ‘The Chechens' American friends’ The Guardian September 8, 2004).

The american neocons have set up a committee to oppose russia’s invasion of chechnya ­ this is yet another of their innumerable, and interminable, committees which aims to investigate and promote another aspect of their global aims. Whether the zionist oligarchs have any direct connection with acpc is not known but it would be surprising if they didn’t. "The list of the self-styled "distinguished Americans" who are its (acpc) members is a rollcall of the most prominent neoconservatives who so enthusastically support the "war on terror". They include Richard Perle, the notorious Pentagon adviser; Elliott Abrams of Iran-Contra fame; Kenneth Adelman, the former US ambassador to the UN who egged on the invasion of Iraq by predicting it would be "a cakewalk"; Midge Decter, biographer of Donald Rumsfeld and a director of the rightwing Heritage Foundation; Frank Gaffney of the militarist Centre for Security Policy; Bruce Jackson, former US military intelligence officer and one-time vice-president of Lockheed Martin, now president of the US Committee on Nato; Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute, a former admirer of Italian fascism and now a leading proponent of regime change in Iran; and R James Woolsey, the former CIA director who is one of the leading cheerleaders behind George Bush's plans to re-model the Muslim world along pro-US lines." (John Laughland ‘The Chechens' American friends’ The Guardian September 8, 2004); "The ACPC includes many leaders of the neo-conservative think-tank, Project for the New American Century (PNAC), which advocates American domination of the world. ACPC members who are also in the pro-Israeli PNAC include Elliott Abrams, head of Middle East affairs at the National Security Council; Elliot Cohen of the Pentagon’s Defence Policy Board; Frank Gaffney, president of the conservative Centre for Security Policy; Robert Kagan and William Kristol of The Weekly Standard, the house journal of Washington neo-cons, and former CIA director James Woolsey. Former Reagan defence secretary Caspar Weinberger is also in the ACPC."

The exiled zionist oligarchs, many of whom are safely esconsed in the zionist state in palestine, have continued to stir up animosities against putin.

"While in exile, Berezovsky launched the Liberal Russia Party, with an anti-Putin platform. Recently he has taken out full-page advertisements in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post, warning the United States not to trust Putin. He also has stated his interest in running in the December 2003 election for a seat in the State Duma (the lower chamber of the Russian parliament), but has yet to announce his official candidacy." (‘Russia’s Fallen Oligarch’ Frontline World http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/moscow/berezovsky.html October 2003); ""Putin is dangerous for Russia, and Putin's Russia is dangerous for Israel," he says. He cites Russia's ties to Saddam Hussein, which it maintained "almost right up until the last minute," as well as those it continues to have with Iran." (Bret Stephens ‘Boris Berezovsky: Putin's Russia 'dangerous for Israel'’ July 5 2004); "Other prominent figures who use the Chechen rebellion as a stick with which to beat Putin include Boris Berezovsky, the Russian oligarch who, like Zakaev, was granted political asylum in this country, although the Russian authorities want him on numerous charges. Moscow has often accused Berezovsky of funding Chechen rebels in the past." (John Laughland ‘The Chechens' American friends’ The Guardian September 8, 2004).

Whilst vladimir gusinsky, mikhail chernoy, and leonid nevzlin, are enjoying a luxurious life in the zionist state, they might meet lady zionist shirley porter, another zionist criminal who fled her adopted country because she’d been manipulating its political system. Perhaps they could all go for a stroll together in jerusalem to worship at the shrine of robert maxwell. Like them, maxwell wasn’t just a thief, a liar, and a zionist warmonger, but a traitor to his adopted country. But he was true to global zionist domination. Uri avnery is right: global zionist domination is damaging people around the world whether they are americans, british or jews.

By the mid-1990s, the zionist oligarchs had taken control of a large proportion of russia’s industries and political system. They were ransacking the country’s resources whilst millions of russians descended into poverty. The oligarchs were planning to sell large parts of russia’s industries to american multi-nationals turning the country into an oversized resource colony with a substantial mass of russian people living in poverty. At best, the zionist oligarchs’ vision of the future might have been america where zionists control congress and the presidency whilst presiding over a lopsided economy ­ great wealth and widespread poverty. But it is doubtful that putin shared such a vision. Putin was unlikely to find america’s poverty, indigenous violence, racism, corruption, and appalling health system, very appealing. He had taken decisive political action to prevent the zionist oligarchs from ruining russia but, in doing so, he had had to sacrifice civil rights, the freedom of the press, and a free and open market - hopefully temporarily. The response of many in the west to putin’s actions was to focus almost exclusively on the issue of civil rights ignoring the bigger issues of zionist domination. Justin raimondo emphasizes the point, "The charges against Putin and the new, post-Soviet Russia are, in short, malarkey ­ so what's the real deal behind this concert of "concern" by Western governments and their media amen corner? The philosopher-kings of the movement for global "democracy" have been gunning for Vlad the Bad ever since he broke up the media monopoly of the Russian oligarchs. But they really went ballistic went he began to arrest some of these oligarchs for stealing, lying, and trying to buy off the Duma from looking too closely into the highly dubious means by which they acquired their great wealth." (Justin Raimondo ‘Now They're After Putin: The hypocrites of the "democratic" West set their sights on Russia’ http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j121003.html December 10, 2003).

Ian Traynor, a guardian reporter, seems to believe the fault for the zionist oligarchs’ lawlessness was russia’s for being a lawless country rather than theirs for breaking russian laws. "Wheeling and dealing his way to a colossal fortune during the past decade through the real estate business, banking, and the building of Russia's only independent media empire, Vladimir Gusinsky seems an unlikely candidate for political martyrdom. Nonetheless, his fate is now intimately bound up with the prospects for media freedom and civil liberties in a Russia which is at a crossroads. Mr Gusinsky's detention is a defining moment for the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, only a month after he was inaugurated in the Kremlin. In the past decade, Mr Gusinsky has been a central player in building the new Russia that has now turned against him. He is an "oligarch", one of the notorious band of fabulously wealthy businessmen who are loathed by ordinary Russians for plundering national assets during the lawless Yeltsin years. (Ian Traynor ‘Russia turns against irreverent oligarch’ The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,332213,00.html June 15, 2000). That traynor believes that gusinsky is a political martyr shows the level of zionist domination amongst guardian journalists.

A leader in the guardian accused putin of dictatorial tendencies - ignoring the fight between putin and the zionist oligarchs over the future of the country, "First went the TV station. On Monday the newspaper closed and yesterday the best of Russia's independent news magazines lost its staff. Three strikes and Vladimir Gusinsky, the man who created NTV, Segodnya and Itogi, is out. The blow to critical journalism in Russia is immense. The impression that Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, is even more prickly than his predecessor, Boris Yeltsin, is hard to avoid. It would be naive to think that in this crisis Tony Blair would rush to defend press freedom in Russia. On his last visit to Moscow he refused to be interviewed on Ekho Moskvy, the Gusinsky-owned radio station, for fear of upsetting President Putin. But executive spin in Russia has a far grimmer history than in Britain, and even as controlling a personality as Mr Blair should be worried about what is going on there, and say so." (Leader ‘Silencing Russia's media. Mr Blair should not keep quiet’ The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/leaders/story/0,,474297,00.html April 18, 2001). The pro-zionist bigotry of this editorial is amazing in so much as it ignores the criminality of the zionist oligarchs and the way they exploited media freedoms to protect their criminal proceeds.
