Konstantin Rivkin, the lawyer of Khodorkovsky’s ex business partner and Yukos co-owner Platon Lebedev summarises his experiences during 8 years working on the Yukos case in “Khodorkovsky, Lebedev, and all the rest”.

The book is dedicated to the memory of another figure in the Yukos case, Vasily Aleksanyan, who was denied essential medical treatment during his pre-trial detention and therefore died before the trial could take place.

Russian monthly magazine “Sovershenno Secretno” (Top Secret) has published excerpts from the book in their first 2013 issue (‘The role of the prison in the Russian economy’, No 1, 2013). Sovershenno Secretno says that Rivkin’s writing has become a legal and political diagnosis of today’s Russia.

 The book is now available on the Book Trade House ‘Moscow’ website
