There’s been a lot of talk about the practice of “corporate raiding” in Russia lately, from TNK-BP to the president to William Browder (though the concept dates back to the 1990s). But this video, courtesy of the recent shuttered tabloid/satire outfit The eXile, shows that corporate raiding goes to a whole other level as two bus loads of armed men lay siege to a cable television station in Tula. Interesting that this news doesn’t make it out of the country….

(a) The eXile is back up again, this time truly in eXile.(b) Why did you shut off comments on Bob’s post about the WSJ? I’d like to have said that it’s pretty stupid to accuse a lawyer of being a propagandist for his client especially when by so doing he risks getting arrested or assassinated at any moment, and ask why he didn’t comment on the Conde Nast piece that the WSJ was relying on, which is the actual source of the statement.
