Boris Berezovsky, puppeteer or future victim?
Article Abstract:
Boris Berezovsky is a Russian oligarch involved in both government and business, and embodying cynical ruthlessness, a trait of Russia's ruling elite. His business interests have included software, TV, petroleum and automobile dealing, and he has run the Commonwealth of Independent States and is a deputy in Russia's lower house, the Duma. There are investigations of some of his business activities, but he is unlikely to be charged prior to Russia's elections of Mar 2000. Berezovsky has parliamentary immunity, which could be removed. His fate will give an indication of where Russia is heading.
