      <title>Jewish Oligarch Telman Ismailov is Wanted by the Russian Gov</title>

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_self" href="http://armyofheavens.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-have-just-finished-watching-two-hour.html"&gt;http://armyofheavens.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-have-just-finished-watching-two-hour.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I have just finished watching a two-hour-long propaganda piece put together by the Russian government..urrr...the Russian media, masqueraded as a "counterfeit reportage" against the Mountain Jewish businessman, entrepreneur and philanthropist Telman Ismailov (Rus. Тельман Исмаилов).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Telman, who is the chairman of AST Group, and former owner of Moscow’s renowned Cherkizovsky Market, is being investigated on charges of "dangerous contraband and counterfeit" in a market he does not even own anymore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"There is nothing more naive," says the reporter from Telekanal Rossiya (Russian TV Channel), "than to ask the local merchants for a certificate of the merchandise". Through a surveillance camera, the reporter shows us how easy it is to buy any certificate one wishes for, right there in the flea market. Just 17,000 Tadjiks are dealing and sleeping in the market, which sees a million people passing there daily, and brings a profit of a billion dollars yearly, according to the report.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Telman, who just opened his luxury hotel – Mardan Palace - in Antalya, the largest hotel on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, costing him €1.4 billion, is said to have started selling off his Russian assets for more than a year now, and requests a Turkish citizenship. It seems he has crossed the path of Putin or one of his thugs, and now all of the sudden they notice the criminal activities occurring in the Moscow market, which just happens to be the largest such market in Russia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the mainstream reports, it all started with the finding of smuggled goods worth $2 billion, placed in 6 thousand containers. Shoes and children's clothings were among the objects, which were found "unsuitable for use, threatening the health of children and will soon be destroyed," said the Prosecutor General.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
From Putin's rhetoric it is evident that he wants Telman behind bars. Without commenting on the activities of Telman Ismailov, I can say from experience that he is venerated as a Godfather in the Jewish community both in Russia and beyond. He really helped many, many people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The newly-build 7-star hotel, which according to another Russian magazine, "Arab sheikhs never saw such a palace in their dreams," also contains a house for Mr. Ismailov. I suspect he planned this project in anticipation of a Russian reaction to whatever 'misunderstanding' there was between him and the other oligarchs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
