Likewise, instead of welcoming the sort of foreign investors who can modernize the economy, the regime continues to wage its judicial war against Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev of Yukos Oil. They were convicted for financial crimes in a 2004 trial, but in August faced a fresh round of charges, including tax evasion and embezzlement.
无独有偶，普京政权并没有欢迎能使经济现代化的外国投资者，而是继续对Mikhail Khodorkovsky和尤科斯石油公司的Platon Lebedev穷追猛打。在2004年的审判中，他们都被判犯有金融罪行，但在今年八月，他们又面临了包括逃税和挪用公款在内的新一轮的指控。
