To be sure, expropriating Menatep made shares in Yukos – a company that by 2003 attracted more domestic and foreign savings than any other in Russia – virtually worthless. But this seems like collateral damage from the pursuit of an overriding political objective.
可以肯定的是，梅纳特普集团的股权分离使得这个截至2003年还是俄罗斯境内吸引国内外资金最多的尤科斯集团的股票一文不值。但这对于追求高于一切的政治目标来说，更是一种间接损失。
