Putin aide slams Yukos sell-off
BBC


President Vladimir Putin's economic adviser has bitterly criticised the dismantling of the Russian oil giant Yukos, crippled by tax demands.

Andrei Illarionov blasted "the state's incompetent interference in the economy", at a Moscow news conference.

"There are no rules," he lamented, adding that Russia had decided to join the Third World.

Speaking from prison, the firm's ex-boss Mikhail Khodorkovsky accused the Kremlin of "senseless" actions.
