The man who is now in charge of Russian oil giant Yukos has vowed to carry on the policies of his jailed predecessor, Mikhail Khodorkovsky. His plans include a merger that will make Yukos one of the world's largest oil companies.
Simon Kukes' appointment appears to have reassured Russian investors that the oil producer will be run effectively. During a press conference, he said there were no major changes in the Yukos pipeline and that Khodorkovsky was not planning to return. A lawyer representing the jailed oil-tycoon has called on the European Union to intervene to try to press President Vladimir Putin to stop what he terms the "political pursuit" of his client.
