expected to be carried out. While I was on the process,my boss got arrested
for his involvement in politics by financing the leading and opposing
political parties (the Union of Right Forces, led by Boris Nemtsov, and
Yabloko, a liberal/social democratic party led by Gregor Yavlinsky) which
poses treat to President Vladimir Putin second tenure as Russian president.
