A court in the Arkhangelsk region reduced the sentence of former YUKOS top manager Platon Lebedev by three years and four months. Accordingly, he is to be released in February, 2013. Lebedev was serving a total of 13 years for tax evasion and embezzlement related to the former Yukos oil company, which he ran with Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who was convicted alongside him. Earlier, the prosecution agreed it was necessary to requalify Lebedev's offenses in line with a new provision of the Russian Criminal Code which reduced the punishment for his offenses.

Knowledge without justice ought to be called cunning rather than wisdom.
