Ambushing the largest oil company of Russia is by no means a reasonable act. Particularly when it comes to the security and law of state, one could assume it could have a dual meaning associated with the ongoing oil wars in Russia. The foremost meaning that could be interpreted is the lack of cooperation, something that Mikhail Khodorvosky was not supposed to do. He must have maintained good relations with Putin so as to get things going around and should have turned a blind eye to his inner conscience, which opposed Khodorvosky every time when he was advised to flee Russia (old tactics still used by Third World politicians), prior of getting caught over by KGB successor’s veterans (FSB) on gunpoint.
Another thing to relate to the guilty verdict is the notion that it is difficult for a state new to capitalism to adopt changing trends such rapidly that it is difficult to welcome individuals more powerful than the state. The state then sees it as a threat that out of fear of attacking straightaway to the national interest of its sovereignty acts as a terrified child. The onus goes to the privatization that incurred in Russia in 1992 after which the government according to Vadim Volkov (2008) in Demokratizatsiya, Standard Oil and Yukos in the Context of Early Capitalism in the United States and Russia “introduced private property but failed to draft laws and institutions that specified and protected the rights of ownership resulting in foundering court system followed with the inability of police and incumbents to protect private property and enforce rights.” As a result scores of governing systems started prevailing which not only benefitted then communist and military leaders, but also foundered then tax authorities, who were befooled by the loopholes of a new born capitalism. By the end of the millennium, the powerful actors as groomed by the state had to cooperate by forming meaningful alliances so as to protect the interests of both, themselves as well as the state
This way or that a state recently being born out of communism, and who has just gotten into a new world of capitalism threatened by the all-powerful actors, cannot see authorities more powerful than those of the state. In this case, oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorvosky is a clear example!
They say I am a philosopher, a poet, a person who knows the politicking going around every nook and cranny. I being a simple human being, enjoy the nerves lying in between distinguishing the mystery that unfolds the ongoing warfare truth holds and the ability to react to the warfare that goes on and on in the mind of a politicker, someone who knows the potential it takes to play with the words.
