An excellent special project by Vedomosti: President Medvedev’s Classmates Though I’d give it a different title: "The Hangers-On." There’s an informative slideshow for those tormented by the question, "Why is so much stolen at Gazprom, while law enforcement agencies and the courts so stubbornly refuse to notice it?" Flip through it — it’s interesting. And of course, the ending of the overview article is великолепно: Mo*ney hasn’t been collected from classmates for a long time anymore. ... No one knows exactly who pays. “Our people in Moscow finance it,” they say with a wave of the hand. *This needs to go into "favorites." It’ll be my standard link whenever commenting on Medvedev’s "fight against corruption."
