Since then, however, two high-profile business scandals have given Westerners further pause for thought. In July, Putin - who has apparently lost none of his influence since shifting from President to Prime Minister in May - leveled accusations of price gouging and tax evasion at one of the nation's biggest steelmakers, Mechel, sending its New York-listed stock plummeting. With memories of Yukos' fate still fresh, investors didn't stop there: Putin's comments wiped tens of billions of dollars off Russia's stock market in a matter of days.

...years, saying that the pazo was paid for by popular subscription as a gift for Franco," said Manuel Monge, spokesman of the La Coruãa-based Commission for the Recuperation of Historic Memory, which organized Friday's protest. "But they bought it through extortion, by imposing a revolutionary tax on Galician citizens." The Commission has filed a legal complaint, asking that the property be returned to "its rightful owners, the people...
