Putin pardons his nemesis Khodorkovsky: Who is the man who used to be Russia’s richest?
– canadianbusiness.com
MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree Friday to pardon jailed tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Here’s a look at Khodorkovsky, the implications of his imprisonment and his impending release:
WHO IS KHODORKOVSKY?
At the time of his arrest in October 2003, when special forces stormed his private jet at a Siberian airport, Khodorkovsky was the head of Russia’s largest oil producer. He was believed to be the country’s richest man, with a fortune estimated at $15 billion.
He was also a constant thorn in Putin’s side.
Putin had set out to tame the “oligarchs,” the hugely wealthy businessmen who wielded strong political power. He made it clear they could keep their wealth if they agreed to stay out of politics.
Most complied, but Khodorkovsky didn’t. He funded opposition parties in parliament, which still had the power to block Kremlin legislation. He also supported independent media as the Kremlin was taking over the last national television network outside its control…

Japanese government increases financial help to nuclear plant operator for Fukushima cleanup
– canadianbusiness.com
TOKYO – Japan’s government has announced that it will increase the amount of money it’s providing to the operator of the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant to step up cleanup and reconstruction efforts.
According to government-adopted guidelines announced Friday, the interest-free loans provided to Tokyo Electric Power Co. will be increased to 9 trillion yen ($90 billion), up from 5 trillion yen. The government also said it would try to recoup 3.6 trillion yen through the sale of TEPCO shares or other schemes.
Originally, TEPCO was to be liable for all costs stemming from the 2011 meltdowns at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant. But in September, the government decided to step in and provide financial help after contaminated water leaks and other mishaps triggered public concern about TEPCO’s ability to manage the situation.
