Statements of Support (2003-2013) / Kasyanov, Mikhail

“The degree of cruelty and legal absurdity [of a new trial of MBK] would no doubt exceed the first show trial of 2004-2005. The beginning of the second trial in the YUKOS affair is an answer to all those who had predicted an imminent thaw and called to support the new ‘liberal’ president”

Mikhail Kasyanov, former Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, February 25, 2009
