In an exclusive interview with the Russian online newspaper Postimees, Pavel Khodorkovsky said that he dreams of an actual meeting with his father. In the past ten years they have only stayed in touch via phone calls or letters: “When I will speak with him this Sunday, I will tell him that there is an exhibition about him in Estonia,” he said.
