31-05-2005 20:45 MOSCOW, May 31 (RIA Novosti) - There is the widespread belief among politicians that quite a number of other businessmen could have faced the charges brought up against the former Yukos CEO. Leader of the Russian Communist party Gennady Zyuganov described the nine-year sentence to Khodorkovsky and his business associate Platon Lebedev as "a public whipping." "We witnessed an ordinary case of flogging. Though the entire period of privatization in this country faced disastrous law violations, a scapegoat, with whom above all someone wants to square accounts, was found," Zyuganov told journalists on Tuesday.

According to him, the Communist party would not defend the former Yukos CEO because "Khodorkovsky has got all required legal aid." Once the trial is over, capital drain is inevitable, he added.
