On December 11, 2009, Andrew Meier, author of the NYTimes article “Who’s Fears a Free Mikhail Khodorkovsky?” speaks with Ramona Koval of The Book Show on ABC Radio about writing the article and his decades-long relationship with Khodorkovsky.
During the interview, Meier mentions that Vladimir Putin has “lashed out at Khodorkovsky personally. Ennuerated what was latent in the piece, things that I had just sketched…and he’s gone far beyond what our fact checkers were concerned about, enunciating how much this case means to Russia.”
