$500,000 'between friends': Russian oligarch & UK prince in cash row

It could have been been the simple tale of one friend helping another - except the two in this story are a fugutive Russian oligarch and a cousin of Britain's Queen Elizabeth. London-based Boris Berezovsky has given Prince Michael of Kent more than half a million dollars of financial support - raising questions over what a wanted man in Russia wants in return. Ivor Bennett takes up the story.

Russians who protest again Putin should look this video with deep thought. Than remember how it was in the nineties with this little troll smiling behind Yeltsin.

Тhere exists absolutely ZERO evidence to support the frequently repeated baseless allegation behind Putin's 'billions'. Just lies and smears to paint Putin as corrupt.

[MartAlexey]

Berezovsky himself a sophisticated thief. Therefore, fled Russia when Putin came.

The devil from holy water ran.

Berezovsky is a player, he wants to move the Putin that Russia used to rob again.

If this falls apart the Russian state, he do not care.

It is financed by a revolt in Russia. He just Judas.

Sources for what?

[daniel favela]

Whats your sources?

[RussBETEP]

False. The popularity was high. Very high: success in repelling the invasion Chechnya - terrorists in Dagestan, "financial" success ... an athlete (as opposed to alcoholic Yeltsin), ...

You are not even a resident of Russia! Stop the talk nonsense!

[slavixtube]

He was just re-elected with 63.6% of the vote among 5 candidates. That's a high vote of confidence. Putin has had a very high level public approval throughout his years in office. (60- 80%)

[daniel favela]

Do Russian polls show his a great leader?

[Lacostelad]

Little devils reach out to one another..

[slavixtube]

In my opinion as well as opinions of many other people Putin is one of the greatest leaders Russia ever had.
