<p>They say that revenge is a dish best served cold, and probably nobody in the world understands that better than deposed Russian oil baron <a href="http://www.khodorkovskycenter.com/">Mikhail Khodorkovsky</a>.</p>
<p>Whilst literally seated on ice cubes in a Siberian prison cell, Khodorkovsky, though deprived of his billions and his freedom (to say nothing of his hair), has nonetheless mapped out and executed a devastating counterattack on his jailer, Vladimir Putin.</p>
<p>Khodorkovsky was formerly the head of the massive YUKOS oil concern and Russia’s richest man. The moment he began making noises about challenging Putin for the presidency he was summarily arrested, railroaded on bogus embezzlement charges, and sent off for a lengthy stretch in Siberia. His entire company, which had been leading the way in bringing Western accounting and management practices to Russia, was seized and usurped by the Russian government.</p>
<p>Human rights groups around the globe have condemned the kangaroo judicial proceedings he faced, and now he faces a second go-round that makes the first proceeding look like a tea party.</p>
<p>Double jeopardy being standard procedure in Russia, Khodorkovsky <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/4932132/Russian-oligarch-Mikhail-Khodorkovsky-goes-on-trial-for-second-time.html">is being retried</a> on exactly the same charges, except that now the amount of goods he allegedly personally misappropriated now amounts to the total value of goods produced by the company. There is little doubt that he faces the single most absurd criminal indictment ever leveled against an individual in the annals of jurisprudence.</p>
