Mikhail Khodorkovsky receives guests in a small old building in London’s City of Westminster, which he uses as an office. The ex-oligarch has a slight cold and speaks in a husky voice. In the tastefully furnished conference room there is a shelf with classics of Russian literature such as Chekhov and Lermontov. A chess set is set up on a small round table, ready for the game – although Khodorkovsky says he is not playing at all.
