| Exiled Russian tycoon plotting 2nd Russian Revolution |
| 2007-04-13 |
| The Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky has told the Guardian he is plotting the violent overthrow of President Putin from his base in Britain after forging close contacts with members of Russia's ruling elite. In comments which appear calculated to enrage the Kremlin, and which will further inflame relations between London and Moscow, the multimillionaire, with an estimated fortune of £850m, claimed he was already bankrolling people close to the president who are conspiring to mount a palace coup. |

| #2 Out of the frying pan and into the fire? Forbes has done a good job tracking Berezovsky for over 10 years now. This article "Godfather of the Kremlin" from Dec. '96 was my first intro to Bad Boris. |

| #1 All I can say is either Berezovsky or Putin is a dead man walking. |
