And this awakening by civil society in the context of the lack of freedom of expression and opinion in countries where political opponents silenced, or throw them in jail. That you do not like? "- Said in an interview with Khodorkovsky, arguing about the prospects of Russia.

According to the former oligarch, "although the situation in Russia is different, a number of conditions is typologically similar to those that existed before the people's revolution in Egypt or Tunisia. "In Russia, on the agenda are the same fundamental problems as in North Africa and the Middle East: Fair Elections, an independent judiciary, free media, the real fight against corruption", - said Khodorkovsky.

Businessman urges the authorities to "peaceful liberalization", warning that if in Russia there was a revolutionary situation, rely on the security forces do not have to.

According to him, the country faces the task of "not to miss a historic window of opportunity for peaceful liberalization, providing people with political freedoms, the creation of institutions of democratic government and civil society."

time for that "there are not many" - up until "until the new generation did not try the system on a tooth that Khodorkovsky believes inevitable.

Addressing the tandem asked him about a possible presidential candidate for the party in power in 2012, Khodorkovsky has agreed to discuss hypothetically: "The question should be: if Medvedev will be elected for a second period will he be able to carry out reforms, which he unsuccessfully appealed all the time after his election? Today it is no answer. "

«The Russian government gets a pass into the club without any responsibilities and obligations", - complains Khodorkovsky, who argues that the cause is a false notion in the West, the principles of Realpolitik and pragmatism.

in Moscow this use, said Khodorkovsky, leading apocryphal quote by Vladimir Lenin: "The capitalists will sell us the rope itself, which we have them strangled." But, finds the former oligarch, the situation in many natural: "Russia is too powerful a player on the European continent, and European" pragmatism "too seriously affect the psychological atmosphere in our country." At the same time, he expressed the hope that Western leaders were raised in discussions with Russian leaders on "the Yukos affair, yet the political will and take" real action "to put pressure on Moscow.
