Putin, shirtless or not, keeps flexing muscles

This morning, at the Biltmore downtown, I sat down with Robert Amsterdam, international counsel for Mikhail Khordokovsky, the onetime Yukos oil tycoon and Putin opponent who sits in a Siberian gulag. He had some very interesting things to say about the Khodorkovsky case, espionage (!), and Putin's shameless power grab, which I write about in my column. In super-quick turnaround time, it's up for your Russian-intrigue reading pleasure.

And, no, my sole purpose in writing this column wasn't the opportunity to run Putin's beefy beefcake photo again. Really. I swear.
