As for Nikita Belykh, the "portfolio investor," his name, too, has repeatedly surfaced in scandals connected with the redistribution of property. "We will seek common ground with any owners of an enterprise..." Nikita Yuryevich once used those words to justify raider-style takeovers of businesses in Perm, while, incidentally, holding the status of a government official—earning him the nickname of the "investment" vice-governor. The Union of Right Forces (SPS) has not rid itself of its thug mentality even today. ***Many, for example, still remember the shooting allegedly opened by Nikita Belykh's friend Alexei Navalny in one of the capital's nightclubs. Nikita Belykh then reportedly tried to hush up this criminal episode almost "by the rules of the underworld," rushing to the police station in the middle of the night. So it turns out that SPS is supposedly for the rule of law by day, but at night everything is done the way the gangsters do it? ***http://compromat.ru/main/sps/pyatna.htm
