I don't know why media is circle jerking about this. I am not a fan of Putin and I can see that he wanted simply to get rid of Chodorkowski and that he may or may not got a real fair trial. But in the end Chodorkowski is a criminal who tried to illegally sell/exploit property of the Russian state. I am not saying the other oligarchs surrounding Putin didn't do or tried the same, but Chodorkowski isn't a "Putin critic" for political reasons or somekind of activist. He was part of this whole game of corruption and mob crimes and he lost.
