Washington is prepared to join forces with Russia to promote democracy, human rights and the rule of law worldwide, President Obama has said in an interview with Russia’s Novaya Gazeta newspaper on the eve of his visit.
Answering a question about the paper’s murdered journalist, Anna Politkovskaya, Obama said that corruption would never win.
However, he’s somewhat critical of the new prosecution of jailed former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Obama said the Russian authorities “are putting old charges in a new package” for the second prosecution of the former head of the Yukos oil company.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who’s currently on trial, is already serving a jail sentence.
