"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, despite substantial efforts and worldwide initiatives to secure justice for the former head of Yukos, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and his business partner, Platon Lebedev, their fate remains unchanged. ‘Freedom is better than unfreedom’ said the newly elected President Medvedev. That should be the basis for Russia’s future, along with a reform of the judicial system and a much-needed improvement in prison conditions. Unfortunately, the latest ruling in the Khodorkovsky case shows that hopes for more rule of law in Russia are not being fulfilled. The recent military policy decisions in respect of Georgia and NATO also indicate that, with the new Putin-Medvedev duo in power, a new Ice Age has begun, not only in the domestic but also in the foreign policy arena. We really do need to be alert to that."@en1
