“Alexander Temerko is my old friend. We know each other for more than 30 years. At a moment when Putin sent me to jail and his friends started raiding my company, Alexander did everything to interfere with their plans and secure my release. But once he became the subject of a prosecution of his own and facing imminent arrest he had to leave Russia for to the United Kingdom. It seems ridiculous to suspect him of working for the Kremlin.” – Mikhail Khodorkovsky
