Russland-Forum, das Original

Sign of the Times:
According to Yelena Panfilova, head of the Russian branch of Transparency International, Yevtushenkov's arrest is emblematic of Russia's transformed political and economic environment, in which isolationist foreign policy has changed the boundaries of acceptable action inside the country.

"In these confused and troubled times, it is much easier to seize assets and defeat a powerful opponent on the quiet," she told The Moscow Times.

"The state's priorities clearly do not lie in the rule of law; everything is concentrated on foreign policy, social stability and patriotism," she said.

Yevtushenkov's arrest could lead to a change in the rules of the game among Putin's inner circle, according to Panfilova, as the former policy of keeping oligarchs at arm's length as long as they are not involved in politics has clearly been abandoned.

"But so far no other oligarch has said anything in Yevtushenkov's defense," she said.
