I agree with the President. Democracy must be at the core of United States foreign policy and diplomacy. Our country must be prepared to play a leadership role in ensuring that democracy and basic freedoms are promoted and preserved around the world.

Richard Lugar

The states of the former Soviet Union present a special challenge to the advancement of democracy. Some states, such as Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, have solidified democracy, and used this foundation to establish strong economic security links to Europe, including membership in NATO. Elsewhere, the people of Ukraine and Georgia have struggled and sacrificed for democracy. Those efforts have paid off with new governments based on democratic principles and the rule of law.

But these encouraging signs are not universal. Belarus is the last remaining dictatorship in Europe, a virtual police state. The countries of Central Asia are controlled by strongmen, and the effective and consistent application of democracy, the rule of law, and human rights remain, in some cases a distant goal.

The biggest concern in the region for democracy advocates, however, is Russia. Despite elections and the experience of post-Soviet personal freedoms by the Russian people, the fate of democracy in Russia is perhaps more ambiguous now than at any time since the collapse of the Communist system. Russia is a vitally important country with which the United States must have a constructive relationship. Those who would discount Russia's relevance to United States national security in a post-cold-war world are seriously mistaken, in my judgment. The interests of our two countries intersect in countless areas. Russia can be a critical partner in the war on terrorism, in preventing nuclear nonproliferation, in meeting world energy needs, in organizing international responses to emergencies, and in maintaining economic vibrancy in both Europe and Asia.

With the adoption and maintenance of strong democratic institutions, Russia would develop from an occasional partner of the United States into a close friend. The benefits of such a relationship, for both countries, would be enormous.

However, the United States/Russian relationship cannot develop in positive directions while basic freedoms are being violated in Russia. This is not just a policy of the U.S. Government. When a country does not respect the rule of law, private businesses around the world impose market-driven consequences on that country. Investment and other economic links that would help Russia diversify its economy and improve its trading relationships are far less likely to appear if foreign companies cannot count on a fair and consistent business climate and legal system.

The Russian people have suffered from suicide bombings and terrorist attacks, including the tragedies at the Moscow theater and the elementary school at Beslan. Russia is fighting to overcome terrorist threats that pose grave risks to citizens on its own soil. In this struggle, we identify with the people of Russia, and we pray for their safety. But even as we understand the complex choices facing the Russian Government, we can attest that these horrible events should not be used to justify the rolling back of democracy. This is a self-defeating strategy that will weaken, and not strengthen, Russian society.

In recent months, the Kremlin has taken action to stifle public dissent and political opposition. Rival political parties have been suppressed; the election of regional governors was canceled; and most of the media has been brought under state control. This pattern of behavior has spilled into the Russian Government's handling of the economy. The campaign against Yukos and Mikhail Khodorkovsky reached a new low, on December 28, when one of President Putin's senior economic advisors criticized the forced sale of Yukos' main oil- producing unit and its purchase by a state-owned company as, quote, "the scam of the year," end of quote. This honesty resulted in the official being stripped of most of his responsibilities by the Kremlin.

Outside of Russia, the Kremlin has attempted, unsuccessfully, to alter the outcome of the election in Ukraine, and has provided overt support to the breakaway regions, specifically Abkhazia, in Georgia. Russian backing remains a critical component in President Lukashenko's hold on power in Belarus and in efforts by governments in Central Asia to rebuff democratic advancements. These anti-democratic actions do not make Russia safer, because they contribute to regional instability.

The West's next opportunity to reinforce democratic values is in Moldova next month. Moldova's path toward democracy has been marked by free and fair multiparty elections. We must be vigilant to ensure that the people of that country have the freedom to choose their leaders.

As the United States encourages democracy in the former Soviet Union, we must maintain the foreign policy tools that support this effort. The administration's fiscal year 2006 request for the foreign-affairs account is an especially good one. But one area that should be revisited, in my judgment, is its 13-percent cut in the funding for the Freedom Support Act, which underwrites democracy programs in the former Soviet Union. With so much at stake in Russia, this is not the time to diminish our funding in this area.

Next week, our President, President Bush, will meet with President Putin in Bratislava. The discussion may focus on the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the global war on terrorism. There is much to discuss in these areas, including the identification of additional weapons sites in Russia in need of security upgrades and Russia's resistant posture toward granting liability protections to United States contractors working on the Plutonium Disposition Program.

In addition to these important subjects, President Bush must make democracy, human rights, and the rule of law priorities of the discussion. The United States must continue to press Russia to adopt a free and fair political and judicial system. Only then will the United States/Russian relationship reach its full potential.

To examine the threats to democracy and the rule of law in Russia, we are joined today by Mr. Steven Theede, the chief executive officer of Yukos, and Mr. Tim Osborne, director of Group Menatep. We appreciate their appearance, especially given that hearings in the Yukos court case, including claims against the Russian Government, are still continuing in Houston today.

Let me mention that my colleague, the distinguished ranking member of the committee, may not be with us for a period of time, or perhaps throughout the entire hearing, because a bankruptcy bill, which he initiated 8 years ago as the original cosponsor, is suddenly being marked up this morning in the Judiciary Committee. That will necessarily require his presence, and we understand that. That bankruptcy markup was unknown when this hearing was scheduled. He deeply regrets that he will not be present to, at least, hear the initial testimony, but we know that he will participate if he possibly can.

Let me, at this point, call upon you, gentlemen, in the order that I have introduced you, for your opening statements. Perhaps you can summarize in roughly a 10-minute period of time. The Chair will not be that rigorous with time restrictions. We're here for your information, not to restrict the amount that you have to say -- but let me just say, at the outset, that your full statements will be made part of the record in their completion.

Mr Theede

There is much at stake in how the Yukos situation is resolved: The supply and price of global oil, the safety and welfare of Yukos employees and communities, the future of economic development and rule of law within Russia, and the relationship of the Russian Federation with the United States and other nations.

Mr Theede

The United States has a direct interest in the resolution of the Yukos situation. Beyond the important political or strategic concerns, there are the vital issues of global energy and economic security. There are the rights of more than 60,000 individual and institutional investors, many of them Americans, who express their faith in Yukos and their faith in Russia by investing in the company and in the country.

Investors, whether they are American or not, must have confidence that investments made in the international marketplace will be protected and that the rule of law, not politics or greed, will dictate the actions of government.

Mr Theede

I've spent more than 30 years working in the international oil and gas business, engaging successfully in different legal and political systems around the world. And I moved to Moscow, and I joined Yukos about 18 months ago because I believed that, within the global oil business, no country had more potential than Russia, and no company had more promise than Yukos.

Mr Theede

In less than a decade, as a privatized company, Yukos had become Russia's most stable and reliable oil producer and among the most efficient and fastest growing producers in the world. As an innovator, a taxpayer, and an employer, Yukos had become the true Russian success story and Russia's most progressive, transparent, and successful oil company.

Mr Theede

Were there risks in the Russian business environment? Of course there were. But less than 2 years ago, the risks seemed more commercial than political. I heard and believed President Putin's message of an independent judiciary, of private ownership, of more protection for investors, of participation by international companies to help tap Russia's vast reserves.

Mr Theede

But those high expectations at the start only deepen the feelings of disappointment and betrayal today. We've seen, Mr. Chairman, a ruthless and unprecedented campaign by the Russian Government against Yukos, carried out by way of dubious and discriminatory taxes, illegal expropriation of property, arrests, and individual intimidation. A modern, globally respected company has been dismantled by a series of carefully timed and politically motivated attacks by the Russian Government. The market value of Yukos has plummeted from $40 billion to $2 billion in less than 6 months.

Mr Theede

As a litmus test for future investors, the Yukos experience certainly is not encouraging. The rules have clearly changed. For reasons known only inside the Russian Government, it has -- seems to have reversed its commitment to privatization and chosen instead to increase the role of the state. As a result, the whims of those in power have replaced the guarantees of due process, adherence to the rule of law, and protections for the rights of shareholders and property owners.

Mr Theede

Sitting here today, secure in the rule of law, it's hard to imagine the human tragedy that is still unfolding in Russia today. The former leadership of Yukos sits in a Russian jail. Most troubling to me personally, many loyal and outstanding Yukos employees, people whom I have worked side by side with over the last year and a half, find themselves subject to intimidation by the government and threats by its agents. I fear for those good people and the uncertain future that they face in a country that they love just as we love our own.

Mr Theede

The economic tragedy continues to unfold. It represents the dismantling of a potentially great oil company, and one of Russia's largest taxpayers, through a systematic and deliberate government campaign to bankrupt Yukos.

Mr Theede

First, government officials instructed tax authorities to make a tax case against Yukos. The tax claims are a contrivance without merit or precedent. They are based on a selective and retroactive application of Russian tax laws, and on fines and penalties that are unconstitutional. They totaled the incredible sum of $27\1/2\ billion.

Mr Theede

I have a chart that I would like to submit that, in essence, shows the total tax bill that has been assessed against the company. And those are the red bars. That is the total of taxes paid at -- during the current years that they were due, plus the additional penalties that have been assessed -- taxes and penalties that have been assessed against the company as a result of this most recent attack. And that's compared to the gross revenues of the company. Total gross revenues of the company, which is shown in the blue chart.

Mr Theede

And we're showing this just to give you an idea how outlandish these tax claims are, because, consider, in 2002, the total taxes, both invented and otherwise, along with fees, fines, and penalties assessed against Yukos, totaled 111 percent of the company's gross revenue. There is no business or economic logic that explains how a company can be assessed more in taxes than it collects in revenue.

As their next step, the Russian court and bailiff sought to collect the total amount, more than $27 billion, before our legal appeals were even exhausted.

In addition, while demanding immediate payment, they simultaneously froze all Yukos assets and bank accounts; in effect, leaving the company unable to properly function.

Mr Theede

The government's resolution to this contrived situation was to declare that, because Yukos could not pay its fictitious taxes, the bailiffs would have to seize Yuganskneftegaz, our most valuable asset, which produces about a million barrels a day, and sell it at auction to satisfy these tax charges. Drained of cash and unable to sell assets, we were left with limited means to invest in operations, pay salaries, meet expenses, or pay taxes that we allegedly owned -- owed.

Mr Theede

The so-called auction was a sham in which Yuganskneftegaz, which accounted for roughly 60 percent of our total production capability, was sold for less than half its appraised value. Not surprisingly, the buyer was an unheard-of company, created just 2 days earlier and of no certain address, that sold its prize almost immediately to Rosneft, a 100-percent completely state-owned and controlled company whose new chairman also continues in his position as a senior government official.

Mr Theede

Despite the government's unsupportable claims, Yukos acted in a responsible way. Even while challenging the tax claims through all available legal, political, and diplomatic channels, as a matter of good faith and as a signal of our interest in finding a reasonable resolution, we began to pay some of the taxes. But it quickly became clear that this was not really about taxes, but, rather, an orchestrated effort to wrest control of the company and its assets.

Mr Theede

As the Moscow Times summarized it on January 14, 2005, "State-controlled banks helped a state-controlled oil company purchase a controlling stake in Yugans, which was being sold by the state for tax debts owed to, and defined by, the state."

Mr Theede

The legality of these actions has apparently stirred debate even within top ranks of the Russian Government. Just last week, Andrei Illarionov, a long -- a close and long-term economic advisor to the Russian President said, Yuganskneftegaz should be returned to Yukos. He said there are certain common human commandments, such as, "Thou shalt not steal." Not surprisingly, by speaking truth to power, this once-influential advisor has reportedly been stripped of many of his duties.

Mr Theede

When Americans ask, "Why should we care about this?" I could give you a number of reasons, but I'll focus on the reasons that I know best, and that's energy. As the world's largest oil consumer, clearly America's energy security and the strength of its economy depend, in good measure, on the stability and reliability of global oil supplies. Yukos had the potential to add significantly to the stability of the supply coming from Russia, making its dismantling an important economic blow.

The numbers are quite impressive. Operating with the efficiencies and incentives of a publicly traded company utilizing world-class technology and expertise, the annual production of Yukos grew by 300 percent from 2000 to 2003. At the same time, Russia's overall production grew just 30 percent.

Mr Theede

Before the government campaign began, in 2004, Yukos had become the largest producer of crude oil in Russia and the largest exporter of crude oil from Russia. Slightly less than 20 percent of all crude oil produced in Russia came from Yukos and its subsidiaries.

Mr Theede

The production growth is rapidly decelerating. Production growth rate has now fallen 4 straight months in Russia. The International Energy Agency cut its forecast of Russian oil output growth this year to 3.8 percent, citing higher taxes and a worsening regulatory climate. The treatment of Yukos and the increasing state control of oil production, in general, are the critical contributing factors. State control is increasing, even as production growth is decreasing.

Just last week, the Russian Federation announced a ban on United States and other foreign-owned companies from bidding for new permits to develop several large oil fields. This will further discourage needed investment capital and expertise.

Mr Theede

Ronald Nash, Chief Strategist at Renaissance Capital, which is a Moscow-based investment bank, called the ban a dramatic step down the road of state intervention which Russia has been following for some time. The ban could dissuade foreign companies from investing in Russia.

Mr Theede

The eyes of not just this body, today, but also the world are on Russia as it attempts to gain full membership in the global economic community. Russia may be tearing up its own rule book, but it cannot be allowed to tear up the international rule book.

Mr Theede

Would-be investors might well be wary of doing business in a country where international norms and the rule of law can be so easily violated, and where property and shareholder rights cannot be guaranteed. As long as that system exists, Yukos will not be the last company to find its rights violated and its assets seized by the Russian authorities.

Mr Theede

I appreciate this chance to take part in the hearing today, Mr. Chairman, and I also thank you for unanimous -- thank the committee for unanimously passing a strong resolution of disapproval against the actions of the Russian Government. I hope this strong show of resolve will inspire similar protests by the full Senate, the House, the President, and Americans, in and out of government.

Mr Theede

Yukos is one of the largest multinational oil companies in the world. The company had a market capitalization of $40 billion before the Russian Federation engaged in a ruthless and unprecedented campaign of dubious and discriminatory taxes, illegal expropriation of property, arrests and intimidations. The attack by the Russian Federation against Yukos violates Russia's foreign investment laws, which provide for international arbitration of investment disputes, as well as Russia's obligations under its treaties and international law.

Mr Theede

There is much at stake in how this situation is resolved: The security, reliability and price of global oil supplies; the safety and welfare of Yukos' employees and communities; the future of economic development and rule of law within Russia; and the relationship of the Russian Federation with the United States and other nations.

Mr Theede

The United States has a direct interest in the resolution of the Yukos situation. Beyond the important political or strategic concerns, there are the vital issues of our nation's energy and economic security. There are the rights of more than 60,000 individual and institutional investors, many of them Americans, who expressed their faith in Yukos by investing in the company.

Today, the market value of Yukos has plummeted from $40 billion to $2 billion because of the Russian government's campaign of persecution and intimidation against Yukos and its officials.

Mr Theede

The Russian government has carried out a ruthless and unprecedented campaign against Yukos by way of dubious and discriminatory taxes, illegal expropriation of property, arrests and intimidation. For reasons known only inside the Kremlin, Russia has decided to reverse its commitment to privatization and chosen instead to increase the role of the state. It has made an equally unfortunate choice to ignore the Western-style reformist laws it passed over the past several years when those laws conflict with the interests of the Kremlin. As a result, there are no guarantees of due process, no adherence to the rule of law, and no protections for the rights of shareholders or property owners. background

Mr Theede

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the Russian Federation's oil industry consisted of hundreds of stand-alone state-owned entities. The vast majority of these were inefficiently run, unprofitable and overstaffed. They survived only through continued state support. In 1993, the Russian government set out to restructure the nation's oil and gas sector. Through privatization, the government hoped to make the Russian oil and gas sector viable in a global market and, above all, attract much needed direct foreign investment into the country.

Mr Theede

Yukos was founded by the Russian government on April 15, 1993 through the integration of state-owned producing, refining and distribution entities. Although it had become a separate legal entity, the newly created Yukos remained entirely state owned. It remained that way until December 1995 when the Russian government sold its stake in Yukos to a group of Russian investors. Thus, through a series of tenders and auctions held in 1995 and 1996, Yukos essentially became Russia's first fully privatized oil company. russian success story

Mr Theede

Despite the arrival of private investors, Yukos continued to experience a sharp decline in production output and mounting salary arrears, and faced the technical bankruptcy of its main production unit, Yuganskneftegaz or YNG. Its debts to the Russian government had grown to more than $3.5 billion. In May 1996, Mikhail Khordokovsky stepped in as Chairman of Yukos' Executive Board, bringing with him a dynamic, professional management team. The task of this team was clear: Transform the company into a multinational enterprise managed in accordance with the highest international standards of operational efficiency, transparency and corporate governance. Over the next eight years, Yukos was successfully transformed into a viable, vertically integrated, transnational oil company competing with the biggest oil industry players in the world.

Mr Theede

The company repaid all debts owed to Russian federal and regional governments, and increased its production capacity by reinvesting its profits in drilling, capital construction and new oil field development. Further, realizing that attaining Yukos' goal of becoming a successful international energy player would require substantial foreign investment, Yukos embarked on an ambitious program to transform the company's corporate culture into that of a fully transparent, Western-style corporation. For example, Yukos became the first Russian company to switch to international accounting standards, and the first Russian-based multinational to disclose its management and ownership structure to the public.

Mr Theede

The company's annual production output grew by 17 percent in 2001 and by 19 percent in 2002. By 2002, Yukos accounted for approximately 18 percent of Russia's total oil production, producing an average of 1.4 million barrels a day. Before the government launched its deliberate campaign to destroy the company, Yukos and its subsidiaries were the largest producers of crude oil in Russia and the largest exporters of crude oil from Russia. Together they produced slightly less than 20 percent of all the crude oil produced in Russia, and refined and marketed slightly less than 20 percent of the refined products in Russia. This made Yukos one of the largest oil and gas companies in the world.

Mr Theede

In December 2002, Standard & Poor's rated Yukos "BB with stable outlook," and in January 2003, Moody's Investor Service assigned the company a rating of "Ba2." At the time, these were the highest long- term and foreign currency issuer ratings for any privately-held Russian multinational. Khodorkovsky himself won the 2002 "Entrepreneur of the Year" prize, awarded annually by Russia's leading business daily Vedomosti, published jointly by the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal. The same year, the Russian government named Yukos the "Best Company for Compensation and Social Payments Programs," as well as for the "Implementation of Social Programs at Enterprises and Organizations." By 2003, Yukos had signed major joint venture and strategic affiance agreements with international companies such as Total, Schlumberger, and Microsoft. In fact, the company's success was so internationally celebrated that, in 2003, ExxonMobil expressed its interest in acquiring between 40 and 50 percent of Yukos for an estimated $25 billion -- a transaction that would have been the single largest direct foreign investment in Russian history.

Mr Theede

Not surprisingly, since 1998, the value of Yukos' shares increased more than tenfold, including a growth of 250 percent in 2001 alone. By all accounts, Yukos was the signature success story of the new Russian Federation. By October 2003, the market capitalization of Yukos' worldwide stock was estimated at more than $30 billion. As late as April 2004, Yukos' market capitalization was estimated at more than $40 billion. United States investors owned interests in Yukos that were worth approximately $4 billion in October 2003, when the Russian authorities began their persecution of Yukos' chief executive officer.

Mr Theede

American investors (and investors from around the world) bought their interest in Yukos in the good faith belief that their investment would not be expropriated. Russia, recognizing the importance of the rule of law to international investors, adopted the Russian Foreign Investment Law which states in its preamble that it is, "aimed at . . . ensuring stable terms for operations of foreign investors and compliance of the legal order of foreign investment with the standards of the international law."

Mr Theede

A company that had been formed from the decaying remnants of the Soviet era had become a standard bearer for the new, pro-foreign investment Russian Federation. Within a mere eight months, however, between April and December 2004, this transparent, globally-respected multinational corporation, worth an estimated $40 billion, was subjected to a series of carefully timed and politically motivated attacks by the Russian government, ultimately forcing it to seek bankruptcy protection in the United States on December 14, 2004. khodorkovsky arrested

Mr Theede

During 2002 and early 2003, Mikhail Khodorkovsky reportedly became concerned the country's upcoming general election would result in a two-thirds pro-government majority in the Russian Parliament ("Duma"). He began to contribute openly to major opposition parties, but reportedly refused requests to finance United Russia, the current governing party. He became an outspoken critic of the alleged endemic corruption in the Russian administration and advocated for progressive legislative reforms. Due to his close ties with Western business and political leaders, his words were resonating outside of Russia and his reputation growing.

Mr Theede

In mid-2003, an election year in Russia, the Kremlin reacted. Platon Lebedev, Chairman of Menatep Limited, Yukos' largest shareholder, was arrested in July 2003 on charges of fraud and tax evasion, and Vasily Shakhanovsky, a member of Yukos' Management Board, was charged with tax evasion. In July 2003, the Russian Government raided Yukos' offices where it went through computer records for approximately 17 hours. And on October 25, 2003, Mikhail Khordokovsky was arrested at gunpoint by government agents and jailed on charges of tax evasion, theft of state property, and fraud. He remains jailed to this day. In addition, many loyal and outstanding Yukos employees have found themselves subject to intimidation by the government and threats by its agents. The Government continues to arrest Yukos' managers, intimidate its employees through illegal searches of their homes conducted by masked, armed forces, confiscate personal property of the company and its officers, and jail or threaten other company employees on trumped up criminal charges. In a recent example of this repugnant methodology, Svetlana Bakhmina, a young Deputy General Counsel of Yukos and the mother of two young children, was arrested late at night at her home in Moscow on charges relating to her legal work at Yukos. She remains incarcerated.

Mr Theede

Despite the political activism of its largest individual shareholder, however, Yukos itself was never involved in Khordorkovsky's political activities. All his contributions to opposition parties, for example, were made from his personal funds and not from corporate accounts. Nevertheless, hand-in-hand with its criminal investigations, the government also apparently perceived that it had to move against Khordokovsky by targeting Yukos, the single most concentrated source of his wealth. In December 2003, a few weeks after Khordokovsky's arrest, the Ministry of Taxation conducted a perfunctory two-week "special" audit of Yukos' books. In April 2004, the government slapped a $3.4 billion audit report on Yukos, which it claimed Yukos owed in respect of the 2000 fiscal year. The Russian government's moves against Khordokovsky's wealth, through tax assessments against Yukos, have been numerous since then, clearly retaliatory and have involved the systematic repudiation of the rule of law. the tax assessments

Mr Theede

Following the first assessment against Yukos, the government levied additional tax assessments against Yukos and certain of its subsidiaries. Including massive penalties, fines and interest, these assessments eventually totaled approximately $27.5 billion. They were based on government audits of Yukos' books, which had already been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, formally audited and confirmed as correct by Russian tax authorities, and made as transparent as possible as part of the company's corporate philosophy. Further, in light of the fact that Yukos was one of Russia's largest taxpayers, it was in constant communication with the regional Russian tax authorities, which had approved all of Yukos' previous filings following similar audits. Yukos has always maintained that the company, like many other companies in Russia, used legal and government-approved tax reduction provisions. Allegations that Yukos had acted illegally could only be made under a selective and retroactive reinterpretation of Russian tax law that could not reasonably have been anticipated when the transactions took place.

Mr Theede

In addition, the amount of the taxes has been swelled by usurious default interest, penalties, and fines. This exponential rate of increase jeopardized Yukos' ability to conduct business and decimated its net equity. In a blatant example, tax assessments for 2001 and 2002 have been in excess of 100 percent of Yukos' annual consolidated gross revenue; for 2003 the assessments have been in excess of 80 percent of Yukos' consolidated gross annual revenue. Indeed, the assessments levied against Yukos for 2001 were in excess of four times the consolidated gross industry average taxes; for 2002, in excess of 3\1/ 2\ times the industry average; and for 2003, in excess of 2\1/2\ times the industry average. kremlin moves to bankrupt yukos

Mr Theede

Despite the government's insupportable tax claims, Yukos acted in a responsible manner. Even while challenging the tax claims through all available legal, political and diplomatic channels, as a matter of good faith and as a signal of our interest in finding a reasonable resolution, Yukos began to pay some of the taxes. But it became clear this was not really about taxes. It was about an illegal and politically motivated campaign to expropriate valuable oil assets and return them to the close control of the government. Having ignored any number of settlement proposals by Yukos, or other reasonable proposals to pay the entire amount of the tax assessments over time, the Russian government instead intensified its collection efforts against Yukos by utilizing the full apparatus of the state.

Mr Theede

On April 15, 2004, the government obtained an injunction forbidding the disposal, encumbrancing or other dealing with any of the assets of the company. On June 30, 2004, a further freezing order forbade any disposals of assets while at the same time requiring an additional tax payment of more than $3.4 billion to be made within 5 working days on pain of a penalty surcharge of 7 percent of the total debt ($241 million).

Mr Theede

Because of the injunction and the freezing order, the company was prohibited from making that additional tax payment. Its formal application on July 2, 2004, that sufficient assets to meet the liability should be released for that purpose was rejected. The surcharge was duly applied. The government's ultimate resolution to this contrived situation was to declare that because Yukos could not pay its fictitious taxes, the bailiffs would have to seize Yuganskneftegas, the company's most valuable asset, and sell it at auction to satisfy the tax charges.

Mr Theede

On August 31, 2004 the bank accounts of Yuganskneftegas were frozen and on September 9, 2004, following a further additional tax assessment of $2.7 billion, thirteen further freezing orders were imposed on Yukos' bank accounts forbidding all transactions. As a result, the company had no access to cash to reinvest in their operations, operate their businesses, disburse company expenses, pay salaries to employees, satisfy any amounts levied under the tax assessments, and most importantly, pay current taxes. In essence, by forcing the company to operate with no money, the Russian government left Yukos incapacitated and unable to function.

Mr Theede

Having rendered Yukos cash-flow insolvent, the Russian government through its bailiffs conducted an auction of Yuganskneftegas on December 19, 2004, allegedly to raise money to pay a portion of Yukos' tax bill. In violation of a restraining order from a U.S. Bankruptcy Court, the auction proceeded as scheduled, with the assets being sold for half their appraised value. The buyer in this sham auction was an unheard-of company of no certain address that sold its prize almost immediately to Rosneft, a front for the Kremlin, whose chairman had led the attack on Yukos in the first place.

Mr Theede

By forcing down the value of YNG stock at the auction, the subsequent set-off against Yukos' tax bill still left a significant tax liability, potentially putting other assets in jeopardy. At the Russian government's request, Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein valued the shares of YNG in preparation for the auction. It gave a valuation of between $15-$18 billion. Despite that valuation by an independent bank, the Russian government set the auction to start at significantly under $9 billion, less than half the valued amount.

Mr Theede

In recent comments, Andrei Illarionov, a close and long-term economic adviser to the Russian president, said Yuganskneftegas should be returned to Yukos. "There are certain common human commandments," Mr. Illarionov said. "Such as `thou shalt not steal.' " Not surprisingly, this once influential adviser has reportedly been stripped of many of his duties following his comments.

Mr Theede

The Kremlin's deliberate campaign against Yukos has serious implications for the United States. Americans should be concerned about a Russian government still willing to unleash its agents in a ruthless campaign against companies or individuals. Likewise, we should be wary of a retreat from democratic values in Russia and a seeming level of instability, especially given Russia's strategic location and nuclear capability.

Mr Theede

As the world's largest oil consumer, America's energy security -- and by extension its economic security -- depends on the stability and reliability of global oil supplies. Yukos had made significant investment in technology, equipment and talented staff, and was playing a growing role in stabilizing world supplies.

Mr Theede

Today, industry analysts note that the Russian government is tightening its grip on the energy sector. Christopher Weafer, chief strategist for Alfa Bank, said this move "is not unexpected and is part of the government's efforts to exercise greater control over the energy sector." Just last week, the Russian Federation announced a ban on U.S. and other foreign-owned companies from bidding for new permits to develop several large oil fields. This action will further slow the growth of Russian oil production by discouraging needed investment capital and expertise.

Roland Nash, chief strategist for Renaissance Capital, a Moscow- based investment bank, called the ban "a dramatic step down the road of state intervention, which Russia has been following for some time." Mr. Nash concluded: "The ban could dissuade foreign companies from investing in Russia."

Mr Theede

As the Wall Street Journal reported recently, slowing growth in Russian oil production has helped drive up world oil prices. Production has fallen for four straight months. The International Energy Agency cut its forecast of Russian oil output growth this year to 3.8 percent, citing higher taxes and a worsening regulatory climate. These circumstances run counter to the energy and economic security of the United States. uncertain future

Mr Theede

In July 1999 the Russian Federation adopted the Russian Foreign Investment Law in order to attract and encourage foreign investment on its territory. According to its preamble: "This Federal Law determines the basic guarantees of foreign investors' rights to the investments, and to the income and profits obtained from such investments, and the terms of business activities of foreign investors in the Russian Federation." The legislation's preamble declares its purposes to be: "Attracting foreign material and financial resources, advanced engineering and technologies, managerial experience and efficient application thereof in the economy of the Russian Federation, and ensuring that the legal regime of foreign investments is in compliance with the norms of international law and the international practice of investment co-operation."

Mr Theede

The Yukos matter puts the eyes of the world squarely on the Russian Federation to judge whether it is living up to that commitment. Yukos is protected by the investment guarantees set forth in the Russian Foreign Investment Law because foreign investors own at least 10 percent of Yukos' capital stock and because Yukos reinvests its income and profits in oil production and related activities on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Mr Theede

By any measure, the Russian government tax claim is not in keeping with international norms or even Russian law. It was imposed without substantive due process by retroactive application of substantive law that was different from what had been applied to Yukos in the past and different from what was applied to other similar companies. It involved an interpretation of law that could not reasonably have been anticipated. It was also imposed without procedural due process involving a fair opportunity to be heard, in many cases imposing taxes for prior years in which the Russian government had previously said no more tax was due.

Mr Theede

This has resulted in a discriminatory taxation of Yukos as compared to other oil and gas companies operating in Russia, many of which are not foreign-owned corporations, and at $27.5 billion, it was so grotesquely large that it equaled between 80 to 111 percent of Yukos' U.S. GAAP consolidated gross revenues (before expenses are taken into account) for the years 2001, 2002 and 2003, and about 70 percent in 2000.

Mr Theede

The inequitable and illegal actions surrounding these extraordinary tax claims substantially impaired Yukos' ability to pay its more than $1.5 billion of debt to over 150 legitimate lenders and trade creditors, and caused the value of Yukos' common stock, owned by over 60,000 shareholders, to plummet from over $40 billion to less than $2 billion.

Mr Theede

These actions also focus attention on Russia as it attempts to gain full membership in the global economic community. Would-be investors might well be wary of doing business in a country where international norms and the rule of law can be so easily violated, and where property and shareholder rights cannot be guaranteed. The Kremlin may feel it has license to tear up the Russian rule book, but international rules are another matter. The rights of international investors can only be protected in a legal system that is fair and unbiased, not one where the Russian government picks winners and losers before it ever decides to hear the case. As long as that system exists, Yukos will not be the last company to find its rights violated and its assets seized by the Kremlin.

Mr Theede

The actions of the Russian government have bankrupted a company that once seemed destined to serve as a model for Russia's economic future. The European Union has condemned the actions against Yukos as a politically motivated, coordinated attack by the Russian government designed to regain control of strategic economic assets. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has also added its influential voice through a resolution of disapproval which the Committee passed on a unanimous vote.

Mr Theede

Sadly, the Russian people will bear much of the burden as well. At its peak, Yukos employed more than 100,000 people, paid billions of dollars in taxes and invested generously in local communities. A modern, globally-respected company has been dismantled by a series of carefully timed and politically motivated attacks by the Russian government. As a litmus test for future investors, adherence to the rule of law and compliance with international norms, the Yukos experience is not encouraging.

I've experienced firsthand Russia's approach to the rule of law and to property rights. Group Menatep, its founders, and its main asset, Yukos Oil Company, have been the subject of a coordinated and relentless onslaught by the Russian authorities.

Group Menatep is the majority owner of Yukos Oil Company, holding approximately 51 percent of the Yukos equity capital. In addition, Group Menatep placed a separate 10 percent of the Yukos shares in a trust, the Veterans Petroleum Trust, which provides retirement benefits for Yukos workers in the remote oil fields in Siberia.

The attacks on Group Menatep and its founders are an integral part of an orchestrated and sustained campaign by the Russian authorities, and need to be explained in the context of what is happening in Russia.

The Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly, known as PACE, appointed Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, a member of the Bundestag, a former German Justice Minister, to examine the nature of the cases launched by the Russian authorities against Yukos and its former executives. Her report, which was based on an extensive legal analysis of the facts surrounding the case, was adopted by the plenary session of PACE on January 25 of this year. The report found that the prosecutions went beyond the mere pursuit of justice to include such elements as to weaken an outspoken political opponent, intimidate other wealthy individuals, and regain control of strategic economic assets.

The Russian authorities have used the pretext of unpaid taxes to justify their attacks on Yukos and Group Menatep's founders, despite the fact that they had all retained the highest quality financial advisors. Prior to the assault undertaken by the Russian authorities, Yukos has been widely praised for its financial openness. It was audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers according to U.S. GAAP standards. Neither PricewaterhouseCoopers nor the Russian tax authorities raised any questions of additional taxes when the books were closed and taxes paid for the years in question. No suggestion of tax evasion was made at any time until the current onslaught began.

Rather than evading taxes, Yukos was the third-largest payer of taxes in Russia during this period, and it paid taxes at or above the industry average, amounting to billions of dollars.

The attitude of the Russian authorities to Yukos changed completely in the wake of their dispute with Mr. Khodorkovsky. Suddenly, massive amounts became due, in some years amounting to over 100 percent of the gross revenue of the company for that year, as just explained by Mr. Theede.

Having improperly levied abusive taxes on Yukos, the Russian authorities then froze Yukos assets, and, in August 2004, seized its subsidiary, Yuganskneftegaz. Yuganskneftegaz had been valued by Western bankers appointed by the Russian Government as worth between $15 and $18 billion. Yuganskneftegaz represented 60 percent of Yukos oil production and was, until its seizure, the core asset of the company.

By freezing assets and seizing Yuganskneftegaz, the Russian authorities essentially assured Yukos' inability to pay the disputed outstanding tax bills. They then proceeded to put Yuganskneftegaz to auction, arranged to have a sole state- controlled bidder, who bought Yuganskneftegaz for less than 50 percent of its true value.

However, it would be misleading to look at this solely as a corporate matter. This case originates in politics. What began as a vendetta brought by the Russian authorities against Mr. Khodorkovsky and his colleagues has now expanded to include intimidation and harassment of employees at all levels of Yukos.

Two examples. The wife and children of one of Yukos' outside counsel was recently detained at the airport in Moscow for hours on alleged drug offenses. No drugs were found, no charges were made, and, ultimately, they were let go. Another example is the female employee in the Yukos legal department who was arrested, leaving her young children unattended, and has, in effect, been held hostage in custody to encourage the return to Russia of her boss.

What is Group Menatep doing about this? Initially, we made every possible good-faith effort to resolve the conflict in an amicable and reasonable fashion. We retained former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien. He met with President Putin in July 2004 and followed this with a number of telephone calls and letters. President Putin committed to review proposals to resolve the tax and other legal issues then outstanding. Separately, Yukos, I understand, has made over 50 different settlement approaches to the Russian Government. No response has been received to any of these approaches.

Given the complete lack of response, we concluded, toward the end of 2004, that the Russian Government's aim was the expropriation of Yukos. We consider that any final hopes that the Yukos affair could be settled reasonably and in a legal fashion were crushed last December, when the government ordered the sale at auction of Yukanskneftegaz, the core asset. As mentioned above, the auction was little short of a farce.

On November the 2nd, Group Menatep delivered notification to the Russian Federation requiring them to enter into the discussions required under the 1994 Energy Charter Treaty. The Russian Federation totally ignored this request. Consequently, on February 9 of this year, at the end of the 3-month standstill period, Group Menatep filed its notes of arbitration, statement of claim against the Russian Federation for the losses caused. The claim seeks compensation for approximately $28 billion.

Our objective in doing this is to protect Group Menatep's remaining assets, to seek compensation for the losses of all Yukos shareholders, and demonstrate to the world that Yukos, Group Menatep, and its founders have been the victims of an illegal, politically motivated campaign designed to expropriate and renationalize Yukos, with total disregard for the rights of all shareholders, the rule of law, and generally accepted principles of international law.

The United States has minority shareholders in Yukos, including state pension funds, such as that of Ohio. They've been directly and negatively impacted by the Russian authorities' flagrant disregard for the rule of law and individual property rights, with losses to United States shareholders estimated in the billions of dollars.

The Yukos affair has broad implications for the global investment community in which U.S. citizens are heavily represented. Group Menatep and all international investors have an interest in open and free markets where the investments are protected by legal systems adhering to the rule of law.

The risk of loss should be based on market forces and business performance, not on arbitrary governmental actions. Moreover, as Mr. Theede has describe, the repercussions for the U.S. energy security are serious. We now have a situation where decisions are being made based on Russian foreign-policy objectives and internal politics, not markets.

I'm not an expert on foreign policy, and would not presume to make recommendations on United States policy toward Russia; however, it is widely acknowledged by foreign-policy experts that the attacks on Group Menatep, Yukos, and Menatep's founders are selective and politically motivated. It's increasingly clear, moreover, that this is a part of a concerted effort to reclaim state control over a major element of Russia's energy sector, for strategic reasons.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the central goals of the United States have been the promotion of democracy, the rule of law, and free markets. All of these have been threatened by what is taking place.

The upcoming summit meeting of Presidents Bush and Putin will provide another opportunity for the United States to raise these concerns, and we will be watching to see that the United States is still trying to advance and protect these commitments.

Given the current ominous trends in Russia, I note that many experts have called into question Russia's accession to the WTO, its participation in the Group of Eight, and, in particular, the appropriateness of its hosting the G8 meeting in 2006. These are a rules-based organization and a grouping of the world's leading democracies, respectively. I wonder whether the Russian Federation is currently a suitable candidate for either.

Mr. Chairman, hearings such as these send an important signal to the Kremlin that the United States is closely watching its actions and is vitally concerned about the rule of law, as well as property rights and human rights, in Russia.

I wish to thank Chairman Lugar and Senator Biden for convening this hearing today. The past 18 months has seen a veritable onslaught against Group Menatep, its holdings and its shareholders by the authorities in Russia, against the backdrop of an apparent retreat in democratic development in Russia. I am grateful to you, Mr. Chairman and Senator Biden, along with your colleagues in the Senate, for your early recognition of the serious nature of these events in the Resolutions that were introduced in the previous session of Congress.

My name is Tim Osborne and I am a member of the independent Board of Directors of Group Menatep. My fellow Board members and I were appointed in March 2004 to conduct the day to day operations for the company following the detainment of Director Platon Lebedev in July 2003 and then the still-unexplained death of Mr. Stephen Curtis, appointed as his successor, in a helicopter accident in the spring of 2004.

As a member of the Group Menatep Board of Directors, I am responsible for stewardship of the company in keeping with recognized standards of transparency and corporate governance and, more recently, in protecting the company's remaining assets. I do not represent Yukos Oil Company or the individuals mentioned above, however, the attacks on Group Menatep holdings and its founders are an integral part of an orchestrated and sustained campaign against the company by the Russian authorities and therefore need to be explained in the context of what is happening in Russia.

I hope at some stage there will be an opportunity for a hearing on the nature of these charges and the conduct of the criminal cases against these individuals. Foreign policy experts, government officials, financial analysts, the defense attorneys and independent human rights groups agree that the trials, like the charges against Yukos, are politically motivated and that they have been riddled with violations of due process and human rights. I will submit for the record along with my written testimony some of their statements and reports. the attacks against group menatep The Tax Issues

While some Russian companies' accounting practices may remain insufficient for the standards of international investment markets, Group Menatep adopted a different approach. It chose to hire top quality financial professionals and auditors for its companies, including Yukos, putting into place internal controls sufficient to meet the highest standards of market economies. Prior to the assault undertaken by the Russian authorities, Yukos had been widely praised for its financial openness and the maintaining of its accounts in accordance with Western accounting practices. While its competitors included firms whose accounts remained less than transparent, it was Yukos, the company that had opened its books to the world, which was selected for prosecution. The fact that Yukos keeps open books meant that it was audited by both outside accounting firms and the Russian government, neither of which raised any issues of tax evasion when the books were closed out and taxes paid for the relevant years.

The assessment by the Russian authorities that Yukos had paid all of its taxes changed completely in the wake of the political dispute between the Russian authorities and the leadership of Group Menatep. Suddenly, massive amounts became due, in some years amounting to more than 100 percent of the gross revenue of a company for that year. The Russian authorities only raised tax evasion allegations after they had already initiated their political crackdown on Group Menatep's shareholders. The tax charges against Yukos both tracked, and followed in parallel, the events in the trials of these executives. Thus, as the trial against these executives heated up, the initial charge for US $3.5 billion in back taxes quickly ballooned to over US $27 billion.

A few simple numbers provide the context for the absurdity of the Russian authorities' assessments. Yukos has already paid $15 billion in taxes for the period 2000 through 2003, on total gross income for that period of $29 billion. Thus, the taxes paid amount to approximately 52 percent of gross income. Beyond that amount, the Russian authorities allege that Yukos owes an additional US $27 billion for that period, bringing Yukos' total tax liability for the period to over US $42 billion, or nearly 145 percent of the company's gross income. Let us call a spade a spade. This is not taxation. This is confiscation.

The crux of the Russian government's allegation is that Yukos evaded taxes through the illegal use of tax havens in the years 2000 through 2003. Beyond the fact that Yukos paid taxes at a level equivalent to or in excess of, on a percentage basis, every one of its competitors in the Russian energy business, there is a fundamental problem with the Russian government's legal case against Yukos. The fundamental problem is that the structures used by Yukos to limit its taxes were lawful under Russian law at the time that Yukos employed them. Russian authorities first had to change the tax law and then apply these changes retroactively in order to even allege tax evasion. Notably, Yukos competitors in the oil and gas field also employed these same tax structures and yet no significant charges of tax evasion have been brought against these companies.

One need not be a Russian legal expert to judge that the actions of Russian authorities are improper. Not only is Russia imposing tax laws retroactively, it is singling out and punishing one company for actions that were industry norms.

The retroactive application of tax law and the selective prosecution by Russian authorities of Yukos are two objective indicators of the abusive nature of these cases. But there are many other objective facts that show that the Russian tax assessments were improper. Prior to the levy of any of these additional taxes against Yukos, the company was already the third largest taxpayer in Russia. Indeed, its tax-to-revenue ratio ranged between 30 to 32 percent during that time and during this period, Yukos paid more in taxes during this period than the industry average. In fact, if one was to add the amount of taxes Yukos originally paid in these years to the amount of taxes that the Russian government alleges that Yukos evaded, the Yukos tax payments would represent 175 to 244 percent of the industry average. These figures do not include the further fines, penalties or interest that the Russian government has added to the tax bill. If such things as fines, penalties and interest payments are included, the amount that the Russian government has asked Yukos to pay represents approximately 267 to 402 percent (depending on the year) of the industry average for taxes paid during this period.

Let us examine a single year of taxes assessed by the authorities -- 2002. On November 1, 2004, the Tax Ministry assessed Yukos an additional US $10 billion in back taxes and penalties for the year 2002. According to these new allegations Yukos was expected to pay a total of US $7.9 billion in taxes for 2002. This US $7.9 billion does not include penalties, fees and interest and therefore represents what the Tax Ministry alleges Yukos should have paid in taxes in 2002. US $7.9 billion represents 70 percent of the total revenues earned in 2002 and approximately 115 percent of the company's gross income for the year. If penalties, fees and interest are included, the total tax bill for 2002 represents 111 percent of total revenue earned by Yukos for the year 2002 and 184 percent of gross income for the year.

The Russian tax authorities chose not to provide Yukos any opportunity to address these charges prior to the issuance of tax bills. Their demands for back taxes were immediately rubber stamped by the Russia courts. There was absolutely no effort on the part of the tax authorities and the courts to negotiate any schedule for repayment.

The behavior by the Russian authorities in this case demonstrates how, when abused, the power to tax is indeed the power to destroy. To provide you with just some of the highlights of the abuses: On July 2, 2004, the Russian Tax Ministry issued a claim against Yukos for US $3.3 billion in back taxes for the year 2001. This US $3.3 billion was in addition to a tax bill of US $3.5 billion that the Russian Tax Ministry had issued the previous December in connection with taxes for the year 2000. On the same day, court bailiffs freeze Yukos bank accounts and notify the company that it must pay a 2003 tax bill of US $3.4 billion within five days. On September 3, 2004 the Tax Ministry presents Yukos with a new US $4.1 billion tax bill for 2001 and announces that the company has only one day to pay. On September 8, 2004 Russian government officials begin to collect on a Yukos tax bill from 2001, immediately confiscating US $2.7 billion from Yukos bank accounts. These disproportionate tax claims against Yukos have been accompanied by the government's freezing of Yukos assets, making payment impossible. These improper actions by Russian authorities were then followed by the forced sale of Yuganskneftegas in December 2004 in an auction in which a false veneer of formal process was used to cover what was actually an illegal expropriation.

Having improperly levied abusive taxes on Group Menatep's main holding, Yukos, Russian authorities then seized Yukos subsidiary Yuganskneftegas in August 2004. Yuganskneftegas had been valued by Western bankers as worth between US $15-$18 billion. It represents 60 percent of Yukos oil production and was, until its seizure, the heart of the company. By seizing Yuganskneftegas, the Russian authorities essentially assured Yukos' inability to pay any of the outstanding tax bills. They then proceeded to put Yuganskneftegas to auction, arranged to have a sole friendly bidder, and to have the company bought up by a state-controlled firm.

In an attempt to preserve shareholder value in the face of these improper actions by Russian authorities, Yukos declared bankruptcy in a federal bankruptcy court in Houston on December 15, 2004, which under traditional bankruptcy law rules would halt the auction. The Russian authorities chose to proceed regardless, auctioning off Yuganskneftegas on December 19, 2004, in violation of a December 16th Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO") issued by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.\1\ One Russian firm, Gazprom, participated in the bidding despite the express prohibition of the same by the TRO. -

As noted above, Yuganskneftegas has been valued at between US $15- $18 billion and yet the Russian government auctioned it off for only US $9.4 billion. The winner of the auction for Yuganskneftegas was an absolutely unknown company by the name of Baikal Finance Group. Baikal Finance Group had no apparent means of financing the purchase. It was obviously operating as a front company for the state-owned company Rosneft in this sale. Some have speculated that the reason for the use of the front company was an effort to shield Rosneft from any legal liability stemming from, amongst other things, the fact that the auction was in violation of the federal judge's stay order. What is absolutely certain is that Baikal itself was not a legitimate bidder.

When research on the Baikal was conducted, nothing could be discovered regarding who owned Baikal or where its financing had come from. The company had no previous operations, no capital, and no known shareholders. The only information available on the company was that it shared an address with a tiny grocery store in the small Russian provincial town of Tver. Three days after the auction, Baikal Finance was "sold" to Rosneft, although public information as to who was paid what for this $15 billion to $18 billion asset remains scanty. Press accounts suggest that Rosneft received a loan of some $6 billion from a consortium of Chinese banks which paid that sum to the Russian government in order for Rosneft to "buy" Yuganskneftegas. The foreign policy implications of this sale are underlined by the recent disclosure that the Chinese helped fund Rosneft's acquisition of Yugansneftegas.\2\ The Chinese banks were reportedly acting on behalf of the Chinese and Russian governments. Following the acquisition, Rosneft now controls 16 percent of Russia's total crude oil output.\3\ -

In summary, this was no auction in any normal sense, but an extraordinarily unethical, illicit and cynical expropriation of private sector assets by the Russian authorities. Group Menatep continues to contest the illicit proceedings relating to the sale of Yuganskneftegas, in Russia and in courts around the world. As Mr. Theede discussed, Yukos is serving notice under the U.S. bankruptcy law that the December 19 sale in contravention of the Bankruptcy Court's order was illegal and that it will seek to recover from those involved in the sale.

There has been widespread condemnation of the forced sale of Yuganskneftegas, internationally and within Russia itself, including explicit recognition of its political nature. Most telling is the criticism of the sale from within the Russian government itself. Andrei Illarinov, then the most senior economic adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin, described the sale as "the swindle of the year." \4\ Shortly after he voiced his criticism of the sale, Illarinov was stripped of most of his responsibilities.\5\ Even Russian Economic Minister German Gref, a close associate of President Putin, referred to the sale as "unjustified." \6\ Criticism outside of Russia has also been pointed. As summarized in one foreign press report: "The Yugansk auction was the culmination of a Kremlin campaign to crush Yukos' politically ambitious principal owner, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and seize control of strategic sectors of the economy sold off in the chaotic privatizations of the 1990s." \7\ -

I have discussed at some length the corporate cases brought against key assets of Group Menatep. However, it would be misleading to look at this solely as a corporate matter. As I have suggested earlier, this case originated in politics. The vendetta brought by the Russian authorities against essentially every person involved with Group Menatep has included a wide range of criminal proceedings that are, like the tax charges, expressions of politics rather than law. For this reason, I feel it is necessary to discuss the actions taken by the Russian government against key individuals. While I do not represent these individuals, I have followed their plights closely because they are so intertwined with the fate of Group Menatep.

The most notorious of these is the prosecution of Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev. Khodorkovsky was until recently the CEO of Yukos and Lebedev was director of Group Menatep. My understanding is that all of the charges against Khodorkovsky and Lebedev are what one would consider "white collar" crimes and that there is no compelling state interest in their continued imprisonment during their trials. Despite the fact that they pose no threat to society and in spite of Lebedev's reported poor state of health, these two men remain in a Russian prison.

I have tried to understand the charges against Khodorkovsky and Lebedev but there appears to be little rhyme or reason to the government's case. The case against these two focuses on the privatisation of a fertilizer company by the name of Apatit. However, this privatisation took place in 1994 and the allegations surrounding this transaction would seem to be issues of contract law, not criminal law. Nine years passed from the privatisation sale to the arrest of Khodorkovsky and Lebedev. During those nine years, three separate civil suits were concluded with regards to this privatisation, focusing on breach of contract issues, with no criminal issues being raised. They resulted in a signed settlement agreement between a Group Menatep company, Volna, and the Russian Federal Property Fund that seemly brought an end to what has now become referred to as the "Apatit affair."

Remarkably, not only was the Russian government a signatory to the settlement agreement, but the Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov, in a letter to President Putin in April 2003, stated that there were no legal reasons for initiating an investigation into the Apatit affair. Throughout all three of these proceedings and the nine years that passed from the time of the transaction and the arrest of Lebedev and Khodorkovsky, no allegations of any criminal behavior were made against these two. Furthermore, although the Russian Federation has since moved to set aside the civil settlement, it has never returned the $16 million paid by Group Menatep as part of the settlement. I can only imagine that no allegations of criminal behavior were made in the civil proceedings because there was no evidence of any criminal behavior.

Khodorkovsky and Lebedev are the highest profile Yukos and Group Menatep executives, but the Russian government has targeted many more and has shown no sign of stopping in its persecution of anyone who is willing to defend Yukos or Khodorkovsky and Lebedev. In fact, some are being detained in an effort to build cases against Yukos and Menatep executives. Alexei Pichugin, a retired FSB major, was the first target in the Russian authorities' assault on Yukos. Pichugin worked in the department of economic and financial security at Yukos during 1998. In May 2003, Russian authorities used the disappearance of his close friends, Sergei and Olga Gorin, as a pretext to grill Pichugin on internal financial matters at Yukos. He was charged on June 26, 2003 with the double murder of the Gorins, and later in August 2003 with three additional attempted murders (Victor Kolesov, Olga Kostina and Evgeni Rybin) from 1998. The initial trial began in October 2004 but ended in a mistrial in December. According to many observers, the jury was dismissed after it became apparent to the court that they would not return a guilty verdict. A second trial began in January of this year with a new jury.

In Pichugin's trial, the authorities' entire case has rested on testimony from a convicted serial murderer and child abuser, Igor Korovnikov ("Korovnikov"). Korovnikov is currently serving a life sentence in the FSB-run Lefortovo Detention Center for eight murders committed between October 1998 and February 1999, and for the sexual assault of five young girls. While little is known of the actual testimony of Korovnikov because all of the proceedings have been held in secret, it is important to note that Korovnikov was imprisoned at the time some of these alleged crimes were committed and Korovnikov's "evidence" surfaced only after he was moved in 2003 by the authorities from Ogenny Island, a penal colony for life-sentence prisoners renowned for its harsh regime, to Lefortovo prison.

Beyond prosecutors putting on testimony from Koronikov which the original jury evidently found insufficient, and the state's ending the proceedings in order to avoid Pichugin's acquittal, outside experts assessing the proceedings have found that the authorities violated international human rights and due process standards in conduct of Pichugin's trial. Russian authorities classified the case as top secret, trying it in private. Portions of Pichugin's case files have been classified by the government. Pichugin was denied opportunities for confidential communication with his lawyers, and the judge in his case once gave Pichugin's counsel just days to review 35 volumes of documents. Pichugin's lawyers had limited access to his case files and were forced to sign "state secret" nondisclosure agreements that would give them a 10-year prison sentence should they disclose the files.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe ("PACE") has resolved that the unjustified restrictions on public access to court proceedings and the fact that, "in particular, all proceedings against Pichugin have been held in camera even though only a small portion of the case file has been classified as secret" are among the "most serious corroborated shortcomings" of the Yukos related prosecutions.\8\ -

Notably, the Pichugin case is merely one, if egregious, example of a pattern of abuses by Russian authorities, which have undertaken these legal cases in a coordinated legal assault on people with ties to Khodorkovsky and Yukos. These abuses include the arrests of Svetlana Bakhmina and Elena Agronovskaya. Ms. Bakhmina worked in the Yukos legal department. Ms. Agronovskaya was a Yukos outside counsel. Both were expected to testify for the defense in the Khodorkovsky and Lebedev trials. They also include the issuance of arrest warrants in January 2005 for other associates of Khodorkovsky and Lebedev, including Mikhail Brudno ("Brudno"), Vladimir Dubov ("Dubow"), Alexander Gorbachev, Vladislav Kartashov, Alexei Spirichev, and Irma Chernikova, after Brudno and Dubov were invited to the U.S. to discuss the Yukos affair with members of Congress.

Each time the allegations by the Russian Federation have come before an independent court outside of Russia, the Court has found the allegations were substantively deficient: In August of 2003, Defendant Russian Federation secretly submitted requests for mutual legal assistance to the Attorney General of Switzerland requesting the seizure of business documents related to, inter alia, Group Menatep, its subsidiaries, Khodorkovsky, Lebedev, Yukos, and Yukos-related trading companies. Subsequently in March 2004, Defendant Russian Federation sought the freeze of numerous bank accounts in Switzerland in the name of the same entities and individuals, and the Swiss Attorney General froze accounts holding approximately $4.9 billion dollars. On June 8, 2004, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court directed the Swiss Attorney General to release several of the accounts subject to orders ripe for review and held that "the [Russian] request and its amendments do not contain any fact enabling determination, even minimally, of the cause, nature and scope of such extensive damages, which would be of a nature to justify the ordering of the contested freeze." Pecunia Universal Ltd. v. The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland, No. 1A.86/2004/col at 6 (Tribunal Federal June 8, 2004). The Court went on to assess a 5,000 Swiss Franc penalty on the Swiss Attorney General. Id. Prior to implementing the Swiss Supreme Court's ruling, the Swiss Attorney General contacted Defendant Russian Federation representatives and asked whether it had any additional evidence to warrant the freeze of the accounts. Defendant Russian Federation's representatives did not offer such evidence and accounts containing approximately $4.7 billion dollars were released. In 2003, the Russian Federation also requested the Attorney General of Liechtenstein seize records located in Liechtenstein and relating to Khodorkovsky and Group Menatep's alleged illegal activity. Menatep and Khodorkovsky objected and Liechtenstein's highest court denied the request and held (i) that there were no facts presented underlying the alleged criminal offenses against Khodorkovsky and Lebedev, (ii) that "the suspicion arises that the alleged tax offenses do not even exist . . . and the other alleged crimes are mere allegations without substance," and (iii) that the request by the Russian government was a "fishing expedition" and to grant the seizure request would amount to a violation of International Law. Case No. 12 RS.2003.255-ON 25 at 6 (Furstliches Obergericht April 25, 2004). Political and Economic Motivations for Legal Cases

One does not have to specialize in human rights issues to see that in these cases Russian authorities are not abiding by international standards relating to rule of law, but are instead approaching these cases politically. These proceedings exhibit a "Red Queen" approach to justice: "verdict first -- evidence later." These are not merely my conclusions, they are shared by essentially every outside observer. As the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has recently found following an extensive fact-finding by a senior Rapporteur, The circumstances of the arrest and prosecution of leading Yukos executives suggest that the interest of the State's action in these cases goes beyond the mere pursuit of criminal justice, to include such elements as to weaken an outspoken political opponent, to intimidate other wealthy individuals and to regain control of strategic economic assets.\9\ -

The abnormal nature of the arrest and prosecution of Khodorkovsky, Lebedev and others affiliated with Yukos, as well as the treatment of other business leaders not affiliated with Yukos which has been held in violation of international law,\11\ reflect the Russian authorities' political motivations in prosecuting the Yukos-related defendants. But it is also worth looking at the processes of the trials themselves, because they raise the question of whether the founders of Menatep are in essence now political prisoners in Russia. As I appreciate it, the U.S. government is required by the Congress to make such human rights judgment on an annual basis, looking country-by-country. Last year, while expressing concern about the political nature of these cases, the U.S. State Department did not make a finding that Khodorokovsky, Lebedev and Pichugin were political prisoners. However, the facts that have emerged over the past twelve months, combined with what preceded them, may provide a basis for the U.S. government to give further consideration to that question. -

Separately from the personal cases, there is the issue of the handling of Yukos by Russian authorities, its tax cases, and the forced auction of Yukos' most important energy subsidiary, Yuganskneftegas, for a fraction of its actual value by Russian authorities to a shell company. This shell company in turn sold the subsidiary back to a state-owned enterprise, though there is no record that any payments were actually made in the purchases. Thus, the Russian government levied false taxes against Yukos, not lawfully due the government, as a strategy to steal its prime assets. These proceedings, too, were a sham, fundamentally unjust, and reflecting not just improper political motivations, but improper commercial ones as well, as I will discuss further later in this testimony.

I understand that the State Department examines the existence of political prisoners in its Annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, usually without elaboration on the standard applied in making judgments about the existence of political prisoners in a country.\12\ I have been advised that in 1992, in response to congessional concerns expressed about human rights conditions in Turkey, Assistant Secretary of State for Legislative Affairs Janet Mullins wrote a letter to the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Europe and the Middle East of the Committee on Foreign Affairs explaining the Department's review and opinion on the situation or existence of political prisoners in Turkey. Ms. Mullins explained: -

I understand that Congress may also request a report from the State Department that addresses the specific situation of these individuals. The more detailed criteria adopted by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) for identifying political prisoners, discussed below, may provide a useful analytical framework for U.S. government officials and members of the Senate to consider the question of whether these persons are political prisoners from the perspective of U.S. law.

A person deprived of his or her personal liberty is to be regarded as a political prisoner: If the detention has been imposed in violation of one of the fundamental guarantees set out in the European Convention on Human Rights and its Protocols ("ECHR"), in particular freedom of thought, conscience and religion, freedom of expression and information, freedom of assembly and association; If the detention has been imposed for purely political reasons without connection to any offense; If, for political motives, the length of the detention or its conditions are clearly out of proportion to the offense the person has been found guilty of or is suspected of; If, for political motives, he or she is detained in a discriminatory manner as compared to other persons; or, If the detention is the result of proceedings which were clearly unfair and this appears to be connected with political motives of the authorities.\16\ -

Under the third criterion, Khodorkovsky, Lebedev and others affiliated with Yukos and Group Menatep Limited should be held to be political prisoners because the manner in which Khodorkovsky and Lebedev were arrested, as well as their continued detention and treatment, are disproportionate to the non-violent economic crimes with which they are charged. Russia's prolonged arbitrary detention of these individuals is a violation of international law, and, particularly with respect to Khodorkovsky, has been declared by PACE as a corroborated and serious shortcoming of the Russian proceedings.\17\ -

The European Court of Human Rights ("ECHR") has described the prohibition on arbitrary detention contained in the European Convention of Human Rights to require release once detention ceases to be reasonable, and has ruled that the judicial officer before whom the arrested person appears must review the circumstances mitigating for or against detention, to decide by reference to legal criteria whether there are reasons to justify detention, and to order release if there are no such reasons.\18\ Furthermore, according to the ECHR, "continued detention can be justified in a given case only if there are specific indications of a genuine requirement of public interest which, notwithstanding the presumption of innocence, outweigh the rule of respect for individual liberty laid down in Article 5 of the Convention. . . ." \19\ The same prohibition against arbitrary detention is contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ("Universal Declaration") \20\ and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights ("ICCPR") \21\ Even under Russian criminal law, I understand, pretrial detention is supposed to be exceptional, and is only sanctioned if it is impossible to find alternative means to guarantee appearance at trial.\22\ -

In five hearings dealing with Lebedev's detention (July 3, August 28, October 28, and December 23, 2003, and June 23, 2004) and four hearings respecting Khodorkovsky's detention (October 25 and December 23, 2003, and March 19 and June 23, 2004), the court determined, and appellate courts upheld, that the defendants should continue to be detained.

These determinations were defective because they failed to address whether less extreme measures than detention could balance the defendants' rights to pretrial release against the interests of the judicial system as Russian, international, and U.S. law require. Khodorkovsky and Lebedev have been charged only with economic crimes and there has been no allegation of continuing crimes, yet they are being treated as posing serious threats to society and have now been in prison for 15 months and 19 months respectively.

Similarly, application of the second criterion suggests Khodorkovsky and Lebedev are political prisoners. Independent observers have described the Russian case against Yukos and its former executives as "a case of highly selective law enforcement," and have added that the prosecutors and the courts are "highly politicized." \23\ Based on the investigation of its Rapporteur, PACE has resolved that these defendants have been, "in violation of the principle of equality before the law -- arbitrarily singled out by the authorities." \24\ -

The crimes with which they are charged, to the extent that the charges are even cognizable, relate to the privatization of state-owned assets, tax evasion, and fraud. Khodorkovsky and Lebedev are being prosecuted for these alleged offenses while other individuals who engaged in similar alleged conduct have been left unscathed. As PACE has noted, "the allegedly abusive practices used by Yukos to minimize taxes were also used by other oil and resource companies operating in the Russian Federation which have not been subject to a similar tax reassessment, or its forced execution, and whose leading executives have not been criminally prosecuted." \25\ -

Lastly, application of the third criterion supports a finding that Khodorkovsky, Lebedev, Pichugin and others affiliated with Yukos and Group Menatep are political prisoners because the proceedings are devoid of fairness and have not been held before an open, independent, and impartial tribunal, with defendants enjoying unrestricted rights to counsel.

The Universal Declaration provides, "[e]veryone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and any criminal charge against him." \26\ It further provides, "[e]veryone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defense." \27\ The ICCPR and the European Convention provide for the same rights.\28\ -

In the proceedings against Khodorkovsky and Lebedev, the Russian authorities' restriction of public access to pre-trial proceedings, interference with defense lawyers, and the manner in which evidence is presented against the accused, have been declared by PACE as corroborated and serious shortcomings of the Russian proceedings.\29\ -

The U.S. State Department has found that the Russian judiciary is "seriously impaired by a shortage of resources and corruption, and still subject to influence from other branches of Government." \31\ There is substantial question over whether the courts will independently hear the cases against Khodorkovsky, Lebedev and their colleagues. The performance of the courts in the repeated denial of bail for the defendants, the refusal to allow an independent medical evaluation of Lebedev (who was in the hospital at the time of his arrest and is believed to suffer from hepatitis and other illnesses), and the fact that the same judge was assigned the Khodorkovsky and Lebedev cases (which were initially separate trials), as well as other facts, call into question the independence of the court that will try these defendants. -

As discussed above, the pretrial hearings against Khodorkovsky and Lebedev took place in closed sessions of the Basmanny Court, and sometimes even defense attorneys were excluded. Meanwhile, Pichugin's entire trial has been held in camera and most of the evidence in the case has been classified. Denial of the Assistance of Counsel

Restrictions on the ability of the lawyers for Khodorkovsky, Lebedev and others affiliated with Yukos and Group Menatep Limited to meet with their clients, denial of access of Lebedev's lawyers to the court room during a hearing, and the search and seizure of documents from a lawyer's office have been declared by PACE as examples of additional serious shortcomings in the proceedings against the defendants.\33\ -

As my testimony has now outlined, the tax charges against Yukos and the criminal cases against Khodorkovsky and Lebedev brought by Russian authorities are not about the pursuit of justice or the tracking down of a corporate scofflaw. These actions of the Russian government are about something quite different. They are means to an end, and that end is the solidification of power by the persons currently in charge of the Russian government through the elimination of economic and political competition.

It is easier to see this when one focuses on what Group Menatep was trying to accomplish in its approach to business. In a nutshell, it was an approach in which the company treated its assets as belonging to its shareholders, not to any government, individual, or grouping, including management. Given this focus, Group Menatep had to be both transparent and extremely competitive. Its major energy asset, Yukos, competed directly against major state-owned energy companies, such as the oil company Rosneft, the pipeline company Transneft, and the gas company Gazprom. Yukos became an effective and aggressive competitor to state owned companies, and was on its way to becoming a partner with non- Russian oil firms. The vision of a substantial Western presence in the Russian oil industry deeply disturbed the Russian government. In fact, the actions against Khodorkovsky, Lebedev, and their associates derailed the proposed acquisition of Sibneft by Yukos and scuttled the purchase of a substantial block of Yukos stock by a major U.S. oil company. In addition, Yukos' production and distribution decisions, based on market forces, have often clashed with the dictates of the Russian state as it attempts to control access to its energy resources to curry international favor or to punish countries that had fallen from grace with the current Russian authorities.

Because Yukos was focusing on meeting its obligations to its international share-holders, regardless of their location, Yukos had a number of serious disputes with the oil company Rosneft, the only Russian domestic oil company wholly-owned by the Russian state. Yukos' relations with Rosneft deteriorated significantly in 2002 and 2003, and Rosneft appears to have played an important role in the initiation of the persecution of the Yukos officials. As I have already mentioned, it was Rosneft that ended up acquiring Yuganskneftegas when it absorbed Baikal Finance Group, the front company that had purchased Yuganskneftegas.

Yukos had also clashed with Transneft, the wholly state-owned pipeline company responsible for the distribution of 93 percent of all oil produced in Russia. The Russian government's control of Transneft has enabled it to maintain control, through quotas and other mechanisms, of oil distribution both domestically and internationally, and to collect taxes and fees on oil production, transport and export. The Russian government has used the distribution channels of oil and gas as a strong foreign policy tool, particularly in its dealings with its neighbors in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc countries. Ukraine gets most of its energy from Russia and the Russian government provides discounted sales of oil and gas to the central Asian republics as a means of maintaining influence in these countries. Therefore, when Yukos challenged Transneft proposed plans for pipelines, it was in fact challenging a vital aspect of Russian foreign policy. For example, after the Russian authorities rejected a proposal for a pipeline to Murmansk, intended to facilitate oil exports to the West, Khodorkovsky announced his intent for Yukos to privately finance and construct the line.

The most significant conflict between Transneft and Yukos had been over the construction of pipelines to China and Japan. While Yukos had been championing a proposed pipeline to China, Transneft had for many years stated its intention to build a much longer pipeline from Eastern Siberia to a Pacific export point to serve the Pacific Rim market. Both China and Japan actively lobbied the Russian government over the pipeline route and it appears that in the end, both countries got at least a part of what they wanted. It was recently announced that the pipeline will stretch to the Pacific, bypassing China. However, Rosneft, using the assets of Yuganskneftegas, recently signed a long- term oil supply agreement with the Chinese. The Japanese and Chinese have returned the favors bestowed upon them by the Russian government with pledges of financing for the development of Russia's energy sector.

The largest company in Russia is the state controlled gas giant, Gazprom. Gazprom has viewed Yukos as a threat to its gas monopoly and also wants to break into the oil business. Yukos is perceived as a threat to Gazprom because of its ability to produce gas cheaper than Gazprom and also because Yukos was exploring the idea of building a pipeline to the Arctic Ocean where its gas could be liquefied at a terminal and exported to Europe. Such a project would place Yukos in competition with Gazprom in the sale of gas to Europe and allow Yukos to completely bypass Gazprom's pipelines.

While I have outlined above the economic and geopolitical motivations of the Russian government in targeting Yukos, it is important to note that just because the Russian government has been successful in hobbling Yukos, this does not mean that the government is finished in its quest to gain control of Russian oil fields and pipe- lines. This is clearly seen in last week's declaration by the Russian government that only companies that are majority owned by Russians will be allowed to participate in tenders for oil and mineral rights. As the state's control over the Russian oil industry grows, decisions in the industry will become less and less about market forces and, instead, will be increasingly driven by Russia's international policy aspirations.

The Russian authorities have also been motivated to move against Yukos in its attempt to silence political opponents of the current regime. The Russian authorities considered Khodorkovsky, Lebedev and their colleagues to be ideological and political opponents. Khodorkovsky was seen as a potential future political threat to the current government due to his economic support of liberal candidates for the Duma and the Presidency. As chairman of Yukos, he engineered reforms that brought transparency, corporate governance, Western management and global investments. By contrast, the current Administration favors increased state control of the economy and the subordination of political and economic institutions to the will of the executive. The arrest of Lebedev was seen as a warning to Khodorkovsky to step down and/or flee Russia as had other persecuted oligarchs. Instead of heeding this warning, Khodorkovsky continued to openly criticize the Russian authorities and, despite many opportunities to do so, refused to go into exile.

Prior to his arrest and incarceration, Khodorkovsky was an active critic of Russia's current President and funded opposition parties, including the Union of Rightist Forces (SPS) and Yabloko. In addition, Khodorkovsky had many allies in the Duma and it was rumored that he was in favor of limiting the power of the Russian presidency by moving the country towards a parliamentary democracy.\34\ He was also widely believed to have political aspirations himself, including the Russian presidency. Khodorkovsky's role in opposition politics was expressly cited in the U.S. State Department's 2003 Human Rights Report which stated that "[o]pposition parties, particularly those receiving funding from some so-called oligarchs, were seriously hampered by the investigation and arrest of Yukos President Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a step widely believed to have been prompted, at least in part, by the considerable financial support he provided to opposition groups." \35\ -

While it is hard to determine whether the Russian government has gone after Lebedev and Khodorkovsky to get at the assets of Yukos, or if the campaign against Yukos was an attempt to weaken Khodorkovsky, the end result is that the government has used its ongoing investigation of Yukos as leverage against Lebedev and Khodorkovsky in their criminal proceedings. The tax case against Yukos has never been about the reclamation of taxes, but instead has been a naked attempt to destroy Group Menatep, its shareholders, and Yukos, thereby eliminating a major source of support for Khodorkovsky and also renationalizing strategic assets.

The Board of Group Menatep has made every possible good faith effort to reach an amicable settlement with the Russian authorities. To that end, we asked the former Prime Minister of Canada, Jean Chretien, to act as an intermediary in opening discussions with the Russian government. Prime Minister Chretien met with President Putin in the Kremlin on July 5th of last year. Also present at the meeting was Alexei Miller, president of Gazprom. Over lunch, the President agreed that his government would review in good faith any proposals by Yukos to resolve the tax and other legal issues then outstanding. Prime Minister Chretien had numerous subsequent telephone conversations with President Putin and wrote him several letters. More than 50 proposals to resolve the outstanding claims against Yukos were sent, some of them directly to President Putin's office. All of these efforts yielded no response from the Russian government. After several months, we could only conclude that the Government's campaign against the company had nothing to do with legitimate tax collection or fair minded prosecution of alleged financial crimes, and instead serves the Government's political ends, which were, and remain, the expropriation of Yukos and the destruction of Group Menatep and its shareholders.

Any hopes that the Yukos affair would be settled in a reasonable and legal fashion were finally crushed last December, when the Government ordered the sale of Yuganskneftegaz, Yukos' largest and most valuable oil production arm, as detailed above. None of the money realized by the sale will go to Yukos or its shareholders. Ostensibly it will be used to repay the inflated tax arrears and arbitrary penalties which the Russian Government imposed on Yukos to justify the sale in the first place. Indeed, every effort to appeal the tax assessments and other proceedings against Yukos in the Russian courts has been summarily denied except one, when a brave judge did rule against a particularly egregious government decision; in that one case, the judge was quickly dismissed and his ruling overturned.

As a result, on February 9 of this year, Group Menatep proceeded to file a claim against the Russian Federation under the terms of the 1994 Energy Charter Treaty. Group Menatep's claims are based on the Russian Federation's failure to protect the company's investments in Russia, and specifically the expropriation of Yuganskneftegaz. The claims seek compensation of approximately US $28.3 billion. Under the terms of the Treaty, breaches by the Russian Federation of its international obligations entitle the Claimants to the payment of prompt, adequate and effective compensation. Under Article 26 of the Energy Charter Treaty, disputes can be referred to international arbitration if they are not settled amicably between the disputing parties within 3 months of a notification of claim. The Claimants delivered original notifications to the Russian Federation on November 2, 2004. Since then, the Russian Federation has totally ignored the notifications and has failed to settle amicably the dispute.

Group Menatep will pursue the ECT claim and all other available legal remedies in jurisdictions around the globe, using all means at our disposal. Our objective is to protect the company's remaining assets, seek compensation for the losses Group Menatep has incurred in the Russian Federation and demonstrate to the world that Yukos, Group Menatep and its shareholders have been the victims of an illegal, politically motivated campaign by the Russian Government outside the bounds of accepted international norms, behavior and custom. impact on the u.s.

The detrimental impact of the "Yukos affair" has been widely reported in the media, as have its repercussions for Russia's relations with the West. Not only have U.S. shareholders -- including public pension funds -- been directly and negatively impacted, but the actions of the Russian authorities show a flagrant disregard for rule of law, as the circumstances around the auction of Yuganskneftegas clearly demonstrate. Along with my remarks, I am submitting for the record today a handful of media reports on the Yuganskneftegaz auction that refer to the "farcical" nature of the Russian authorities' conduct (Financial Times, December 20, 2004). As a majority owner in Yukos, Group Menatep has seen the value of its stake plummet.

In my role as a Director of Group Menatep, I have duties and obligations to the company. Investors rely on the integrity of the company itself and on its public filings with securities regulators. But they also rely on the political and legal systems in the countries in which such companies operate, for if rule of law is not followed and property rights are not protected in a country, the whole international system for attracting and protecting foreign investment breaks down.

The U.S. has been a leader in the development of this international system, and has worked to bring Russia into it through economic agreements designed to protect investors from such risks as expropriation of their assets by state authorities. These include the United States' Treaty with the Russian Federation Concerning the Encouragement and Reciprocal Protection of Investment which expressly is designed to protect American investors from such risks in Russia, and which provides as follows in relevant part: Investments shall not be expropriated or nationalized either directly or indirectly through measures tantamount to expropriation or nationalization ("expropriation") except for a public purpose; in a nondiscriminatory manner; upon payment of prompt, adequate and effective compensation; and in accordance with due process of law and the general principles of [non-discriminatory] treatment. . . .\36\ -

This treaty is clearly intended to protect U.S. investments in Russia including securities of a Russian company held by U.S. nationals. By our estimates, approximately 15 percent of Yukos' shares are owned by U.S. nationals. Accordingly, regardless whether the Duma has ratified the treaty, Russia's expropriation and nationalization of Yukos would appear to constitute a failure by Russian authorities to comply with the treaty obligation that Russian representatives undertook in 1992.\37\ These actions have directly harmed U.S. nationals whose interests were protected in theory by that treaty. -

I do not know whether the U.S. government is concerned about this apparent violation by Russia of its duties to the U.S. under the Bilateral Investment Treaty or the fact that Russia has failed to ratify this treaty after nearly 15 years. While the issue of whether private individuals have remedies available to them under the treaty notwithstanding its ratification status in Russia is currently being studied, it is clear that if the U.S. concludes that Russia is not living up to its responsibilities under the Treaty, or that Russia is not even taking seriously the practice of treaty making, it has a number of remedies available to it. These could include deferring decisions to grant Russia additional economic privileges, given its apparent inability or unwillingness to abide by one of the most basic provisions of a bilateral investment treaty -- the prohibition on expropriation without compensation.

Mr. Khodorkovsky was a leading proponent for Russia's integration into world markets, and particularly for closer ties with the U.S. and the West, another factor mentioned as a possible catalyst for his arrest. This sends a chilling signal to Russia's business leaders and discourages the sort of open and collaborative economic relationship that would be of mutual benefit to the U.S. and Russia.

As Mr. Theede explained, energy security is another critical factor in the "Yukos affair." The Russian Government's desire to renationalize energy assets held by Yukos was, in my personal view, an important motivating factor for the attacks on Group Menatep. Whereas under Mr. Khodorkovsky's leadership, Yukos was exploring new ways of cooperating with the U.S., including the diversification of Russian export markets through the construction of pipelines to supply both the east and west coasts of the United States, we now have a situation whereby these decisions will be made based on Russian foreign policy objectives and internal politics, not markets. Indeed, just this past week, the Russian Government announced that only majority owned Russian oil firms will be allowed to bid on exploration contracts later this year -- an announcement rightly seen as extremely worrisome by major news media and Western analysts alike. u.s. reaction

As I have previously mentioned, I am not an expert in foreign policy and would not presume to make recommendations on United States policy towards Russia. However, it is widely acknowledged by such experts that the attacks on Group Menatep and its leadership are selective and politically motivated. It is increasingly clear, moreover, that the "Yukos affair" is not a one-off occurrence, but rather forms part of a concerted effort to reclaim state control over Russia's energy sector for both strategic reasons and personal enrichment. It may be that the United States government finds expropriations, unfair arrests, prosecutions and trials, and consolidation of key sectors in Russia's economy under state control to have national security implications. It is obvious that U.S. interests will continue to be dramatically affected until the Yukos "affair" is resolved in a manner consistent with international standards and rule of law.

A wide array of commentary points to the negative impact this matter is having on capital flight out of Russia, foreign investment into Russia and U.S.-Russia energy cooperation. U.S. minority shareholders in Yukos have also lost a great deal of money, among them public pension funds such as the State of Ohio.

Hearings such as these send an important signal to the Kremlin that the U.S. is closely watching its actions and is vitally concerned about rule of law, as well as property and human rights in Russia.

The upcoming Summit meeting of Presidents Bush and Putin will provide another opportunity for the United States to raise these concerns, and I would hope you will urge President Bush to send a strong signal when he meets with President Putin next week.

Given the current ominous trends in Russia, I note that many experts have called into question Russia's accession to the WTO, its participation in the Group of Eight, and in particular its hosting of the G8 meeting in 2006. As rules based organizations and a grouping of the world's leading democracies respectively, my personal experience has provided a stark example as to why the Russian Federation is not currently a suitable candidate for either.

5. I had already received this information from Yukos' CEO Steven Theede and the CFO, Bruce Misamore, during my visit to Moscow in September. My question to the Federal Tax Service was intended to cross-check the information provided by Yukos, in line with my quest for utmost fairness and objectivity. I take it that if the information provided by Yukos, which I published in the Explanatory Memorandum with the proviso that confirmation by the Federal Tax Service was still outstanding, were false, Mr. Serdyukov would have said so in his reply.

7. The reply to my question regarding the legal possibility of temporary reprieve for taxpayers threatened by financial difficulties following tax reassessments is clear: The law does not allow for any such reprieve if procedures for criminal tax evasion have been instituted.

9. In reply to my question, whether other Russian oil companies, and if so which ones, had been subjected to similar reassessments and their executives criminally prosecuted, given that we had been told that other oil and resource companies had used the same tax minimisation schemes, I was given detailed legal explanations, underpinned by copies of judgments of different Russian and CIS courts, according to which agreements between local and regional authorities granting individual taxpayers privileges with regard to federal taxes are, legally, invalid.

10. The question of the legality, in tax law, of the tax minimisation schemes used by Yukos, as well as many other resource extraction companies between 2000 and 2002, was neither the subject of my question, nor even of my report. The reply mentions some other companies whose agreements with local authorities have been declared unlawful, But the core of my question -- whether Yukos' competitors and their leading executives have been subjected to the same excessive enforcement measures and even criminal prosecutions, has not been addressed.

12. What was still not certain at the time the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights adopted the report -- i.e. that Yukos' principal asset, its oil-producing subsidiary Yugansneftegaz, would be sold off below market value to players closely linked to the Kremlin, has meanwhile turned into actual fact: On 19 December 2004, "Baikal Finance Group," registered under an address in Twer in central Russia, which houses a fast-food joint ("Cafe London"), a mobile phone shop and the liquor Store "Dionis," successfully bought Yugansneftegaz for = 7 bn, i.e. less than half of the "fair value" estimated inter alia by Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein at an auction in which other potential bidders, including from abroad, were discreetly "discouraged" from participating. Reportedly, the detour via Baikal Finance Group and Rosneft, the State-owned oil company to whom the original buyers are said to have transferred Yugansneftegaz, had become necessary after Gazprom and international banks supporting Gazprom's expected bid had been discouraged from acting overtly as buyers by an injunction pronounced by a Texan court a few days before the auction pronounced at the request of Yukos. At the end of the day, Yugansneftegaz has been effectively renationalised.

The auction and the proceedings leading up to it have been widely criticised internationally, for example by the spokesperson of the U.S. State Department, who highlighted the lack of transparency and independence of the courts leading to a loss of confidence of foreign investors, and by the Finnish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Erkki Tuomioja, who said that the renationalisation of Yukos was not the right way to promote foreign investment in Russia. Kremlin economic advisor Illarionov and Economic Affairs Minister German Gref also criticised the handling of the Yukos affair and the sell-off Yuganskneftegaz, recalling that the State had proved to be an "inefficient" owner of key industrial assets. Mr. Illarionov was reportedly recently demoted and lost his function as the Russian "sherpa" for the G8 economic summit process. ii. European Court of Human Rights asking for explanations from the Russian authorities

14. On 14 December 2004, the Court, which had granted the Yukos case priority in July 2004, asked the Russian authorities for explanation on six substantive points arising from the company's April 2004 application. The questions concern, inter alia, the fairness of the hearings before the competent Russian courts, and issues related to the deprivation of property (Article 1 of Protocol 1 ECHR), and to the principle of nullum crimen, nulla poena sine lege (Article 7 of the ECHR). iii. New developments in the court proceedings -- allegations of increased pressures on lawyers and witnesses

15. On 12 January 2005, Mr. Khodorkovsky -- who has rarely taken the floor in the courtroom until now -- made a statement bitterly accusing the State organs of having destroyed the very riches that they say they want him to return. Citing numerous procedural violations by the prosecution tolerated by the court, he said that he lost all faith in the authorities' objectivity. In the interest of the country, society and the prosecution and courts themselves, he called for a truly independent judiciary. Prosecutor Shokhin replied via Interfax that Mr. Khodorkovsky, in order to avoid punishment, just tried to blacken those who perform their duty.

4. The right to a fair trial, as protected by Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), includes the right to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal established by law, the presumption of innocence and adequate time and facilities for the preparation of the defence. A fair trial requires respect of the rights of the defence, the privileged lawyer-client relationship and the equality of arms between defence and prosecution.

6. The Assembly stresses the importance of the independence of the judiciary and of the independent status of judges in particular and regrets that legislative reforms introduced in the Russian Federation in December 2001 and March 2002 have not protected judges better from undue influence from the executive and have even made them more vulnerable. Recent studies and highly publicised cases have shown that the courts are still highly susceptible to undue influences. The Assembly is particularly worried about new proposals to increase further the influence of the President's administration over the judges' qualification commission.

7. Facts pointing to serious procedural violations committed by different law enforcement agencies against Mr. Khodorkovsky, Mr. Lebedev and Mr. Pichugin, former leading Yukos executives, have been corroborated during fact-finding visits whilst some allegations appear to have been exaggerated by the defence team. On balance, the findings put into question the fairness, impartiality and objectivity of the authorities which appear to have acted excessively in disregard of fundamental rights of the defence guaranteed by the Russian Criminal Procedure Code and by the ECHR.

8. The most serious corroborated shortcomings include the following: i. Despite specific requests of the defence lawyers, tests were not carried out in good time that could have established whether or not Mr. Pichugin had been injected with psychotropic drugs; Mr. Pichugin was also held in the "Lefortovo" prison that is not subject to the usual controls of the Ministry of Justice and remains under the direct authority of the Federal Security Service (FSB), contrary to a specific commitment the Russian Federation undertook when joining the Council of Europe; ii. Shortcomings in medical attention to Mr. Lebedev in prison: In the face of serious concern about Mr. Lebedev's deteriorating state of health, the prison authorities have so far refused to allow an examination of Mr. Lebedev by independent doctors, despite repeated requests; iii. Delays in obtaining the prosecutor's permission have prevented the lawyers from entering into contact with their clients during a particularly critical time after their arrests, making it more difficult for them to organise their defence; a legislative reform abolishing the requirement of a prior permission from the prosecutor's office for a lawyer to visit his or her client in prison has not been applied in practice, at least not in the cases of the former Yukos executives; iv. Denial of access of Mr. Lebedev's defence lawyers to the courtroom during the hearing deciding on his pre-trial detention; v. Search and seizure of documents in the defence lawyers' offices, summons of lawyers for questioning on their clients' cases and alleged eavesdropping against defence lawyers: The prosecution must not be allowed to circumvent the lawyer-client privilege by a simple play on case file numbers, especially when the cases are as closely related to one another as the criminal cases against MM. Khodorkovsky, Lebedev and Pichugin and the tax cases against Yukos and its subsidiaries; vi. Unjustified restrictions on the publicity of certain court proceedings: Members of the public have had extremely limited access to certain hearings that were announced as public whilst other hearings were or are being held in camera in the first place. In particular, all proceedings against Mr. Pichugin have been held in camera even though only a small portion of the case file has been classified as secret; his lawyers have been placed under strict instructions not to discuss the proceedings in public, even the reasons of the final judgment may be kept secret; vii. Denial of bail (in particular regarding Mr. Khodorkovsky): Mr. Khodorkovsky was placed in pre-trial detention several months after Mr. Lebedev's arrest on very similar grounds, an arrest that media reports interpreted as a "warning" to Mr. Khodorkovsky. Mr. Khodorkovsky's conduct showed that there was no risk of absconding or of interfering with evidence. After the completion of the pretrial investigation, Mr. Khodorkovsky and Mr. Lebedev were kept in custody which raises additional issues in light of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights in the cases of Kalashnikov v. Russia and Letellier v. France. Also, following a recent legislative reform, persons accused of nonviolent "economic crimes," such as those allegedly committed by Mr. Khodorkovsky, are generally not placed in pre-trial detention; viii. Other unfair features of the trials against Mr. Khodorkovsky, Mr. Lebedev and Mr. Pichugin: The court systematically allows the prosecutor to read out the minutes of the pre-trial interrogation of witnesses and to put pressure on the witness in the courtroom to simply confirm those minutes. This undermines the effectiveness of the right of the defence to question witnesses of the prosecution, whose pre-trial interrogation they are generally not able to attend. The defence lawyers are also not allowed to exchange written notes with the accused in the pre-trial detention centre and in the courtroom. They can only exchange notes after the court has first read them. 9. The Assembly notes that the circumstances surrounding the arrest and prosecution of the leading Yukos executives strongly suggest that they are a clear case of non-conformity with the Rule of Law and that these executives were -- in violation of the principle of equality before the law -- arbitrarily singled out by the authorities.

10. In particular, the allegedly abusive practices used by Yukos to minimise taxes were also used by other oil and resource companies operating in the Russian Federation which have not been subjected to a similar tax reassessment, or its forced execution, and whose leading executives have not been criminally prosecuted. Whilst the law was changed in 2004 and the alleged "loophole" thus closed, the incriminated acts date back to 2000 and retrospective prosecution started in 2003.

11. Intimidating action by different law enforcement agencies against Yukos and its business partners and other institutions linked to Mr. Khodorkovsky and his associates and the careful preparation of this action in terms of public relations, taken together, give a picture of a coordinated attack by the State.

12. The criminal charges laid against persons who made use of the possibilities offered by the law as it stood at the time of the incriminated acts, following a retroactive change of the tax law, raises serious issues pertaining to the principle of nullum crimen, nulla poena sine lege laid down in Article 7 of the ECHR and also to the right to the protection of property laid down in Article 1 of the First Protocol to the ECHR.

13. The circumstances of the sale by auction of Yuganskneftegaz to "Baikal Finance Group" and the swift take-over of the latter by State-owned Rosneft raises additional issues related to the protection of property (ECHR First Protocol Article 1). This concerns both the circumstances of the auction itself, leading to a price far below fair market value, and the way Yukos was forced to sell off its principle asset, by way of trumped-up tax reassessments leading to a total tax burden far exceeding that of Yukos' competitors, and for 2002, even exceeding Yukos' total revenue for that year.

14. In view of paragraphs 8-12 above, the Assembly considers that the circumstances of the arrest and prosecution of leading Yukos executives suggest that the interest of the State's action in these cases goes beyond the mere pursuit of criminal justice, to include such elements as to weaken an outspoken political opponent, to intimidate other wealthy individuals and to regain control of strategic economic assets.

15. The Assembly recognises the right, and even the duty, of the law enforcement bodies to bring to justice the perpetrators of criminal offences. It also recognises the legitimate right of the elected political leadership to pursue its political objectives, including in the economic sphere. However, it strongly objects to the use of law enforcement procedures for such purposes. In this context, reference is made to the judgment of 19 May 2004 of the European Court of Human Rights in the Gusinskiy case in which the Court found that the detention in remand of N-TV founder Gusinskiy violated Article S of the ECHR because it had established that the applicant's prosecution had been used to intimidate him into selling off his stake in N-TV to Gazprom.

16. The Assembly therefore, in general terms, i. Calls upon the Russian authorities to vigorously pursue and implement reform of the legal and judicial system and of law enforcement agencies with a view to strengthening the Rule of Law and the protection of human rights and to continue co- operating with the Council of Europe, in the framework of ongoing programmes; ii. Encourages the courts to assert their independence vis-a- vis the executive authorities in assessing the guilt or innocence of all accused persons, applying the law in conformity with the European Convention on Human Rights; iii. Invites the authorities in charge of pre-trial detention centres to ensure that lawyers' access to their clients in detention is no longer subjected to any conditions not prescribed by law, notably to prior authorisation or recommendation by the public prosecutor, and to provide the conditions for the effective exercise of the defence rights of the persons in their custody, including the respect of the privileged relationship between lawyers and their clients; iv. Urges the competent authorities to ensure that all pre- trial detention centres, including Lefortovo isolation centre in Moscow, be subject to supervision by the Ministry of Justice, in line with earlier commitments by the Russian Federation. 17. As regards more specifically the cases of the former leading Yukos executives, the Assembly: i. Requests the executive, authorities of the Russian Federation to guarantee the full independence of the judicial proceedings against leading Yukos executives from any attempt to influence them and to take measures to stop any such attempt; ii. Requests the public prosecutors to carry out their work in these proceedings in a professional, impartial and objective manner, respecting the letter and the spirit of the procedural protections for the accused laid down in the Russian Criminal Procedure Code and the European Convention on Human Rights and the principles set out in Recommendation (2000)19 of the Committee of Ministers on the role of public prosecution in the criminal justice system; iii. Calls upon the courts to ensure effective public access to the hearings in the proceedings against the leading Yukos executives; iv. Urges the competent authorities to ensure in particular that only those parts of the trial against Mr. Pichugin remain closed to public scrutiny which are directly linked to information for which there is a legitimate need for secrecy, taking account the importance attached to the principle of open court hearings by the European Convention on Human Rights; v. Urges the competent authorities to allow immediately an independent medical assessment of Mr. Lebedev's state of health. recommendation 1692 (2005)

1. The Parliamentary Assembly, referring to its Resolution 1418 (2005), recommends that the Committee of Ministers in general terms: i. Continue offering to the Russian Federation the Council of Europe's co-operation in preparing and implementing reforms of the legal and judicial system and of law enforcement agencies, aimed in particular at further strengthening the effective independence and transparency of the courts and of their proceedings, particularly as regards the distribution of cases among judges of a given court (principle of the judge determined by law); ii. Evaluate the extent to which progress has been achieved under past and current assistance and co-operation programmes carried out in these fields of judicial reform, and to inform the Assembly of the results of this evaluation and of any adaptations that may turn out to be necessary in order to achieve better results; iii. Urge the Russian Federation to ensure that all pre-trial detention centres, including Lefortovo isolation centre in Moscow, be submitted to supervision by the Ministry of Justice, in line with earlier commitments and be open to visits by representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly as requested. 2. Concerning more specifically the cases of the leading Yukos executives, the Parliamentary Assembly recommends that the Committee of Ministers: i. Remind the Russian authorities of the importance it attaches to the principle of open court hearings and ask them to ensure that exceptions to this principle in the Pichugin case are limited to the strict minimum, in accordance with Article 6 Sec. 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights; ii. Remind the Russian authorities of the importance it attaches to the principle that detention on remand shall be an exceptional measure and ensure that this principle is also applied in the case of Mr. Khodorkovsky; iii. Urge the Russian authorities to immediately allow an independent medical assessment of Mr. Lebedev's state of health.

Many have suggested taking a long view of Yukos. The privatization of assets moving from the time of the Soviet Union to a time of private ownership brought about some successes. And Yukos was clearly one of these. But many critics have said the disbursal of the shares of stock was unusual and, in some cases, led to certain persons or groups accumulating great wealth. And, however they may have obtained it, some cynics point out that some of the wealth may have been accumulated in strange ways, but, in the event that it was, those who were managing the wealth ought to presume to stay in business, as opposed to politics. These cynics have argued that if you've decided to take what might be thought as ill-gotten gains, however well developed subsequently, into the political arena, you could expect consequences.

Such has been a rationalization for the fate of the chairman of Yukos, for example. But, as you pointed out, Mr. Osborne, this has now proceeded down through the rank and file of the company, not simply the leadership, whatever may have been the political struggle of that variety. And it's led other observers of Russia to point out that even though we have, as a country -- that is, the United States -- from the time that Bob Strauss went to Russia as an Ambassador -- advocated the rule of law, banking reform, proper titling of property, all sorts of procedures that would make Russia, in quotes, "a normal country" for investment by Europeans. The Europeans are close by, but obviously they have an interest in the United States. This advice has been taken rather haltingly, in bits and pieces, and not without a great deal of development, even to the present.

Now, in the past, some have pointed out, Russia suffered because of this. The amount of investment going into Russia was substantially less, for example, than that going into China. And Russians have complained to some of us on this committee, and others, that they have been unfairly dealt with. Our response was often that the rules of the game made such investment much more precarious. Some people in the energy business decided to take those risks, because the opportunities were enormous and the long-term situation might have been different. But, nevertheless, the amount of investment was always somewhat deficient.

Now, for the moment, Russia, unlike during the times of Boris Yeltsin, for example, is flush with cash, in terms of its overall budget. The leverage for advice seems to have diminished very substantially. As a matter of fact, many Russians in the government resent any critiques. They perhaps resent the fact that we're reviewing this situation today. They might argue that this is Russian business; as a matter of fact, they don't need our help, they don't need our investment. And, in fact, steps have been taken in Russia recently to forestall investment by other countries, indicating hostility, as a matter of fact, to that sort of intervention.

Richard Lugar

Now, it's in this context that we have this hearing. I want to get some idea, leaving aside Russian interests that might have been involved, were there United States stockholders who lost money? Were there people from other countries who lost money? In other words, what has been the impact, in your judgment, either one of you, upon our country, upon other countries, leaving aside whether this is good business for Russia? In my opening statement, I have opined that I don't think it's very good business for Russia. It's rather shortsighted, to say the least. These good times come and go. But, at the same time, leaving aside that editorial comment, what are the implications for our business or for the world economy?

LaRaye Osborne

Mr. Chairman, if I could make a couple of comments first, I'll let Mr. Theede talk about the numbers, because I think he's got them much more at his fingertips than I have. But I think, on the accusations about the acquisition of Yukos, I don't think that, although there's resentment, there's ever been an accusation that anything illegal was done on the acquisition of Yukos by Mr. Khodorkovsky and his colleagues at the time. They acted in accordance with the law of the time. And I think, in any country, you can look back, and laws develop. I think, also --

Joe Biden

Mr. Osborne [continuing]. I think that there are also, if there was resentment and the feeling that that was acquired cheaply, that there are legitimate ways that governments use to rectify those matters. In the UK, there was a view that Mrs. Thatcher had sold off some of the state assets rather cheaply and we had windfall taxes. People complained about them, but they seemed to resolve the situation. This has just turned into a vendetta against Mr. Khodorkovsky and the others.

And, you know, they forget that also what Mr. Khodorkovsky was doing was developing a very open Western-style-run company, which was very profitable. And that was really the resentment.

Mr Theede

Well, I could add a couple of things to that. I think, first of all, I have been very impressed with what Mr. Khodorkovsky and his colleagues did, in terms of improving the performance of the company that they did buy at the time of privatization. And, through the process of improvement, they not only focused on efficiency of production and all the fundamental things, but they also focused on corporate governance and transparency, and really, in many ways, became a poster-child, I think, for Russia, in terms of corporate reform and becoming a model of what is possible; and, as part that, also encouraged a number of Western investors to invest in Yukos.

Just on that point, Mr. Theede, is there any supposition that President Putin recognizes this? In other words, one accusation is that President Putin is a governance- type, comes from a KGB background. He's a bureaucrat, not an economist, not a venture capitalist. I ask this, because obviously a very severe judgment has been made to invade this entire process, one that appeared to be wealth-producing, all for other reasons.

Mr. Theede [continuing]. Company over the last year, but I will say that approximately 20 percent of the company today is owned by Western investors, and about half of those, or 10 percent of the company, owned by Americans. The attack on the company seems to have taken place without regard to those international investors.

Okay. I mean, engage in conjecture for me. You may have done this before I came in. If you did, I'll withhold, and I'll move to something else. What do you think the motivation for the action was? Was it the fact that there was this transparent company growing here, and that was a threat? Or what do you think the motive was?

Joe Biden

But a lot of things are politically motivated. It could be politically motivated, in the sense that they did not want to have a Western-style corporation emerging that is transparent. It may be politically motivated because they viewed Khodorkovsky as a direct threat to Putin's political security.

I believe it had its -- has its roots in the fact that Mr. Khodorkovsky posed an opposition threat and an alternative point of view of Russia's future.

Joe Biden

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's an important distinction. There is, understandably, all kinds of conjecture as to why and what individual or multiple reasons prompted this action. And if one is -- as I understood the Chairman -- a growing resentment of Western investment, period, "We don't need anybody's help," a sort of a xenophobic feeling about Russian resources and assets, that's one thing. If it is a political vendetta -- put it another way, assume that Yukos had been a political ally of Putin. I expect, from your answer, that you think this would not have happened, notwithstanding the fact it had all these other markings of a progressive, open, Western-style corporate governance.

And my observation has been that -- I think that the government has been quite concerned about the impact that their actions against Yukos are having, in terms of investment climate for Russia. And --

Joe Biden

That was my next question. Talk to me more about that. There has still been much less than the investment in China, and much less than the investment in Turkey, for example. But there's still been -- what was it, $10 billion or thereabouts, invested? Would that be on track as to what would have occurred, in your view, anyway? Or do you think, had this action not been taken by Putin, that there would have been significantly more activity and investment?

Mr Theede

Well, I -- that's getting a bit out of my area. But I would answer your question in this way. Having worked in international companies for 32 years, and knowing how corporations, in general, make investment decisions, all companies assign certain political and economic risks to their investment opportunities. And, to a large extent, those risks are based on -- are related to country risk.
