Russian liberal opposition leaders Boris Nemtsov, Vladimir Ryzhkov and Vladimir Milov filed a 1 million ruble ($30,000) libel claim against Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. In a TV interview, Putin alleged that Nemtsov, Ryzhkov, and Milov (all former governmental officials) stole billions of rubles while in office in the 1990s, and further alleged that they plan to steal even more in the event they come to power. The oppositionists also seek retraction from the TV channel.
