Boris Berezovsky Found Dead
Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky found dead. BBC.co.uk, 23 March 2013.
Quote:
The exiled Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky has been found dead at his home in Surrey.
The circumstances of the death of the 67-year-old - a wanted man in Russia, and an opponent of President Vladimir Putin - are not yet known.
I'm not going to lie and say that I'll shed any tears at the death of Boris Berezovsky.
There haa been a string of deaths/murders of prominent Russian exiles in the UK of late; Berezovsky is now the most prominent of them. He may well have killed himself though - he had recently lost a significant part of his (plundered) fortune in a high profile lawsuit.
I will try to post some background and analysis on him soon; but frankly nothing about Russia is simple, and it will take some time to prepare (his death was just announced an hour or so ago).
