Abramovich, Berezovsky and the real story of Russia's lost billions | Alexander Lebedev
GUARDIAN Mon, 16 Jan 2012 18:17:52 GMT
The glitz of two squabbling multimillionaires grabs the headlines but distracts from the high price ordinary Russians have paid It has been bizarre to watch, from the safe distance of Moscow, how the British press has reported the court case between Roman Abramovich and Boris Berezovsky. All the classic ingredients of tabloid fare are there: vast wealth, broken promises, honour, shame, "krysha" – Russian for "roof" but a slang term meaning "protection" – and a few chateaux, yachts and flamboyant women thrown in too. But I hope the glitz and glamour of these mens' lives has not blinded Russian people, or Britain's media and political class, to what made them rich in the first place. And to many Russians, they are settling their dispute in London not because it has an independent and efficient judicial system, but because the British government cares not at all about the history of their accumulated wealth. Everybody knows what happened after the fall of the Soviet Union. A few....

How depressing. So let's sod the yoga and stretch the carb-slugged brain instead. Give it a gentle workout with a couple of did-you-know documentaries. First, Dying Inside, about elderly prisoners. As our sentences get ever harsher and people are put away for longer, and as DNA techniques improve, meaning old crimes can be solved, our prison population is getting older. But Britain has no national strategy for older prisoners. Rex Bloomstein visited three prisons that contain inmates of 50 years or older. Such as Daniel, 65, who'd committed rape in 1982. More than 40% of older prisoners are people convicted of sex offences. "You do think about your crime," said Daniel. "For 24 years I lived in a nightmare."
