> oligarch close to Putin (Oleg Deripaska ...)

For the record, Deripaska is no friend of Putin, who forced him to start paying tax and stay out of politics. Look at how Putin humiliated him several years ago during an industrial dispute, when Putin took the side of workers against Deripaska.

For the record -- OF COURSE he's a friend/loyal to Putin, because in the Russian state all of the oligarchs owe fealty to the leader.

Look to Mikhail Khodorkovsky to see what happens to those that aren't Putin's friends.

Yep. He hates Putin so much he invited one of his ministers (?) to sail on his yacht with some escorts.
