Here goes an unusually creative grassroots effort to raise awareness of the second trial of Mikhail Khodorkovsky.  From the Moscow Times:

Mikhail Khodorkovsky chocolate bars and coarse brown mittens that he could have knitted in prison were delivered to 1,000 celebrities and journalists around the country Wednesday by an painter who said she wanted to highlight his plight.

Yekaterina Belyavskaya, the 29-year-old Moscow artist behind the initiative, said she did not want people to forget the former Yukos billionaire and had included him on her mailing list.

“This is a purely artistic project without any political meaning. We just wanted to remind people about his fate,” Belyavskaya told The Moscow Times.
