Mikhail Khodorkovsky is a fugitive oligarch wanted for murder in Russia now residing in London. He is considered the leading critic of Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin. He was a member of "Sembankirshchina," the gang of seven bankers who ruled Russia during the 1990s and controlled most of its wealth, estimated at around 60% of Russia's GDP at the time. He rose to extraordinary wealth plundering the assets of the former Soviet Union.[1][2]

Yukos Oil

In the financially troubled early days of the Russian Federations, Mikhail Khodorkovsky attempted to take control of Yukos Oil on behalf of financial backers for pennies on the dollar. Yukos accounted for 20% of Russian oil production. Russian President Vladimir Putin thwarted the plans when he had Rosneft buy up Yukos' assets, thereby turning Rosneft into Russia's oil giant. The action earned Putin the undying enmity of Khodorkovsky and his London backers.

Magnitsky Act

See also: Russian sanctions

Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Bill Browder have both been supporters of the Magnitsky Act, which has directly targeted their political enemies and provided a shield from Russian retaliation for themselves.

Khodorkovsky and Browder knew each other from Browder's business dealings in Russia. Khodorkovsky is the former head of Russian oil giant Yukos. According to a New York Times article, Browder and Khodorkovsky had some acrimonious dealings over Yukos, and Browder “was happy when he was arrested.”

Browder cheered the arrest of Khodorkovsky and maintained support for Russian President Vladimir Putin through 2006, hoping that Putin might eventually lift Browder's visa ban and allow him to return to Russia.

The relationship changed in 2010 or 2011 as both men began to lobby for the Magnitsky Act. Their relationship appears to have continued. In November 2016 the two men appeared together to testify on the UK’s relationship with Russia before the House of Commons. Browder continues to bring up Khodorkovsky in interviews. and he specifically noted Khodorkovsky's story during testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

In 2015 Khodorkovsky was indicted for the contract murder of Nefteyugansk mayor Vladimir Petukhov.[3][4][5]

At the Helsinki Summit in July 2018, Putin noted during a joint press conference with US President Donald Trump that he wanted to interview 11 American citizens and several foreign nationals in relation to Bill Browder and the Magnitsky Act.[6] In exchange Mueller's Special Counsel team would be able to interview the 12 Russian intelligence officials they had indicted. Included on Putin's list were Bill Browder, Michael McFaul, David Kramer and Christopher Steele.

It remains unknown if Khodorkovsky or Browder have involvement, direct or otherwise, in the production of the Steele Dossier. A common link running through the participants is Jonathan Winer, who has known Christopher Steele for years. Winer lobbied on behalf of Khodorkovsky and the Corbiere Trust. The Magnitsky Act, which had a material impact on relations with Russia, has stemmed primarily from the unsubstantiated narratives of two men: Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Bill Browder.

Khodorkovsky has been indicted for murder in Russia.
