After reading a petition, my friend called me and said that the story of Vitaly Arkhangelsky, a businessman from St Petersburg, is of the same nature as the examples provided on the site. Please be reminded: the authors of the petition believe that « the Russian government abuses the mechanisms of international treaties concerning extradition and judicial cooperation… to sue innocent persons who are their political adversaries, or whose business Putin’s officials captured or desire to capture, or just those with whom they have personal accounts to settle.  We appeal… until efficient mechanisms are developed … to establish a moratorium … with regard to the execution of requests for extradition.… ».

I was advised to read a couple of articles about this businessman and to have a look at his website.  I read. I had a look. I thought: the story of Arkhangelsky, who is waiting for extradition to Russia, is worth at least being mentioned on the site “www.noextradition.info”.  It is even worth being thoroughly examined.  In fact, from time to time we read in the mass-media: this businessman left the country, he is accused of… he is wanted… As a rule, we do not know a lot of details of the persecutions, since details are known only for famous people like Berezovsky, Nevzlin, Gutseriev, Tchitchvarkin.

The name of Arkhangelsky also is becoming famous.

Let’s read a letter sent by Arkhangelsky to the new Chief of the Central Administration of the Ministry of Home Affairs of Saint-Petersburg and the region of Leningrad Mikhail Sukhodolsky.
