Khodorkovsky is reunited with family
Print Edition
Russia’s former richest man and Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky was yesterday reunited with his family in Berlin, after his surprise release from a Russian prison and lightning transfer to Germany.
A day after he was whisked away from his prison camp in a remote corner of northern Russia, Khodorkovsky was ensconced in one of the most luxurious hotels in the German capital.
The extraordinary operation that has stunned Russia was worked out behind the scenes with the German government and came about after negotiations between ex-German foreign minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher and President Vladimir Putin.
“My family is finally reunited,” Khodorkovsky’s eldest son Pavel, who lives in New York, said outside the Adlon Hotel in central Berlin where his father arrived on Friday. “My father is finally free,” he said.
Khodorkovsky’s parents, Marina and Boris, are “on their way” to Berlin. Khodorkovsky’s 79-year-old mother, who has cancer, said she was taking sedatives to help her cope with her emotions.
Released on Friday after 10 years behind bars, Khodorkovsky will symbolically give his first news conference in a museum dedicated to the fall of the Berlin wall today. But “a return to Russia is not on the agenda,” Greens MP Marieluise Beck said.
