SOUNDBITE: (Russian) Boris Berezovsky, Russian oligarch and exiled business tycoon: "I knew this would happen.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Boris Berezovsky, Russian oligarch and exiled business tycoon: "Unfortunately it was absolutely predictable. It's the logic of the political system that Putin is trying to recreate in Russia. And when they put Khodorkovsky in jail, at that time I already predicted it. I said Khodorkovsky would stay in jail for as long as Putin will be in the Kremlin." 5. Wide of Berezovsky at table STORYLINE Russian oligarch and exiled business tycoon Boris Berezovsky said Tuesday that the nine-year sentence of Russian oil tycoon and oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky was "the logical conclusion" to the "totalitarian regime that Putin represents." Berezovsky, who fled Russia in 2000 and now lives in London, said he had already predicted that when Khodorkovsky was arrested, he would spend "the rest of the Putin era in jail." Berezovsky, a former associate of Khodorkovsky, was one of the oligarchs who became enormously wealthy during the post-Soviet privatisation of state industries in the 1990s. He owned the oil company Sibneft. A Moscow court declared oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky guilty of an array of charges Tuesday in a trial widely criticised as politically motivated, sentencing him to nine years in prison minus time served. The declaration of guilt and sentence came in the 12th day of the laborious verdict-reading process in the most closely watched trial of post-Soviet Russia. Khodorkovsky, the former head of the Yukos oil company and once estimated to be Russia's richest man, has already spent 583 days in jail, meaning he would serve about another seven and a half years in prison.
