Russian news! The Russian experts are assured of Khodorkovsky's pardon

The Russian authorities let know to the western community, that Russia - a lawful state, with transparent judicial system. And it is favourable to deal with such updated Russia to any investor. As the proof that will be served with an opportunity of revision of " business UCOS " and mitigation of punishment for the ex-chapter of this company of Michael Khodorkovsky. Provided that it will write the application on the pardon. Such implied sense is seen by experts in the application of president Dmitry Medvedev in Germany. The problem in, whether will want Khodorkovsky who has not recognized the fault, to ask about the pardon.
At joint press conference with the chancellor of Germany Angeloy Merkel the Russian president has let know, that questions of the pardon of Michael Khodorkovsky condemned in 2005 for eight years for tax crimes and swindle, cannot be a subject of the state negotiations. Nevertheless ex-chapter UCOS's can write the application on the pardon, and authorities are ready to begin necessary legal proceedings. According to Medvedev, such procedures should pass within the limits of a law in force, for them bears the responsibility judicial instance, and in some cases the head of the state. " At observance of these conditions it is possible to consider any reference of any person ", - Medvedev has told. It has noted, that in the USSR there was a practice of acceptance of political judgements, today a situation in Russia other.
Medvedev's application though also can be named sensational, nevertheless it at all does not contradict told earlier prime-minister Vladimir Putin. On May, 31st in interview by the French mass-media Putin has told, that does not see obstacles for Khodorkovsky's amnesty. The decision of this question depends on president Medvedev, Putin has specified. " If the law will allow, to it (amnesties) are not present any obstacles ", - has declared then the head of the government. One more signal testifying to mitigation of a position of the Russian authorities concerning " business ЮКОСа ", has been received yesterday from lips of chairman of board of directors NK " Rosneft ", vice-premier Igor Sechina. We shall remind, this company became the owner of UCOS actives.
Business does not doubt, that Dmitry Medvedev's application testifies to an opportunity of preschedule clearing ex-chapter of Ucos. " If Khodorkovsky will find for itself possible to ask about pardon and by that automatically to recognize the fault authorities, apparently, are ready to make counter movement ", - chapter of RSPP Alexander Shokhin speaks. It assumes, that it will be more convenient to Medvedev to pardon not so much Khodorkovsky, how many " to begin procedure of revision has put aside its mitigations ".
Experts believe, that unlike Vladimir Putin Medvedev does not have " personal emotional component in" business ЮКОСа " and the present president is ready to set Khodorkovsky free ahead of schedule. " To find the formulation of the pardon at which Khodorkovsky would not be named guilty, it is possible, precedents were in business of journalist Pasko and scientist Sutjagina ", - vice-president of the Center of political technologies Alexey Makarkin speaks. It considers, that authorities, expressing readiness to commute a penalty to a former oligarch, solve first of all problems. " At such rise in prices on energy carriers Russia does not have problems with attraction of the western investors, especially from Germany, therefore Medvedev solves now a problem to inspire I Shall sink down an idea on returning the country to democratic values, to more transparent judicial system ", - the expert considers. In opinion of expert Gorbachev-fund Andrey Ryabov, in an imperous tandem Putin-Medvedev the present president is meanwhile perceived by the West as weaker player. " But in this situation when it is impossible to enter into confrontation with some part of the Russian elite, Medvedev has made a maximum possible as quite competent politician ", - the expert considers.
