Yandex News sent over two links. The first was to an article by karimova in Kommersant (a Russian business daily), where she says that I am, after all, profiting from my fight against Gazprom: You can convert your public profile into something material, especially if you are a lawyer, journalist, or writer. “The number of inquiries to my law firm increased after I started fighting the oil companies,” Navalny notes. And the second was an article on the United Russia website responding to the piece in Kommersant: Some of its characters, as is traditional for this publication, are somewhat dubious—it is hardly possible to regard marginal figures like Yashin and Navalny as serious young politicians and to “mix in” young State Duma deputies, as well as members of the Political Council of the country’s leading youth organization, the “Young Guard.”
