As we finish our coffees, I ask Khodorkovsky if he fears for his own safety; he is leaving alone, with no bodyguards in sight. “I understand that decisions about me are taken by only one man. This, of course, provides me with a certain level of protection,” he says.

“If I find out that he’s given the command, I will try to protect myself in some way. But even though I know Putin has become more emotional these days, I hope he won’t go that far.”
