ロシアはイスラエルに石油を売っている。プーチンはホドルコフスキー逮捕についても、裏であれこれすることはしてもそう強くは言えないことを計算に入れているのでしょう。「民営化」で生まれた異常な金満家ホドルコフスキーが野党共産党支持というのも面白いのですが、アブラモビッチについての以下、昨年11月のガーディアン報道を参考までに。
Putin pressed to prosecute Chelsea boss
Abramovich is next businessman on Kremlin hit list

Russian multi-millionaire and Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich is the next target on the hit list of Kremlin hardliners with a grudge against big businesses and the wealthy men who run them, according to documents seen by The Observer.
After last week's arrest of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Russia's richest man, as part of investigations into his Yukos oil company, the Russian prosecutor's office is under pressure to launch an investigation into how the company that made part of Abramovich's fortune was privatised during the political turmoil of the 1990s.
It comes after an MP this weekend filed an official complaint alleging widespread irregularities by businessmen, including Abramovich.
The filing of the complaint against the privatisation of Sibneft resembles the start of the investigative procedure against Yukos in July.
The prosecution of Russia's biggest oil company, which 65 per cent of Russians think is politically motivated, ended with the arrest for tax evasion of Yukos's chief executive, Khodorkovsky, at gunpoint on a Siberian runway last Saturday .
Vladimir Yudin, deputy chairman of the State Duma's Committee on Economic Policy and Enterprise, sent a three- page summary of complaints against a number of businessmen and officials, including Abramovich, to the Prosecutor General last week. It calls for a criminal investigation into the circumstances of the sale of the state oil company Sibneft in the 1990s.
Yudin told The Observer he wanted the courts to examine the allegations. He wanted those who bought state assets at low prices in the Nineties to compensate the state.
He added: 'As our President said: "All are equal under the law". No one in our country can be put in prison without a court decision and it is the business of the courts to decide who is guilty and who is not.'
Sources close to the investigation said they were assisted by 'competent organs', a euphemism for law enforcement. Khodorkovsky's arrest was the first move against big business by Kremlin hardliners working for the security service FSB.
Khodorkovsky's political ambitions infuriated the Kremlin, which had made a pact with the oligarchs for them to stay out of politics or face having their businesses probed. Last week, Putin's business-friendly chief-of-staff, Alexander Voloshin, lost his job, a departure suggesting the hardliners were purging the Kremlin.
Investors panicked when prosecutors froze 44 per cent of shares in Yukos last Thursday, fearing another attack against big business. The complaint against the Sibneft privatisation suggests Abramovich may have fallen foul of the Kremlin. His purchase of Chelsea angered officials who disliked the idea of billionaires investing in anything other than Russia.
Yukos and Sibneft recently completed a multi-billion dollar merger, further bringing the Chelsea owner's oil giant to the scrutineer's attention. On Thursday, the business daily Kommersant's front page showed Abramovich under the headline: 'To be afraid'.
The letter from Yudin - a copy of which has been seen by The Observer - alleges the 28 December 1995 auction of shares in the then state-owned company Sibneft, organised by senior officials in the Yeltsin administration, was a 'fake auction', in which the winner had been chosen in a 'premeditated agreement'.
It adds that $137.1 million of state funds were put into a bank and used to pay for the shares won by a company effectively owned by Abramovich. A spokesman for Abramovich, John Mann, said: 'Sibneft 1995 and Sibneft 2003 are two very different companies', the company today having a Western management structure and modern equipment.
'This is the problem when you talk about privatisation and "people getting things for cheap". What did you get for cheap? If I buy a seedling for $5 and then it grows into a tree that I sell for $50 - did I cheat somebody?'
