Kolya, 23, whom Khodorkovsky
describes as a lifelong outcast,
gashed his own stomach to avoid being charged
with robbing an elderly woman,
a crime he did not commit.


Police asked him to plead guilty
to the robbery to close the case,
but Kolya refused, saying he would lose
all self-respect over it,
and pelted prison officials with his own
innards when they pressured him,
barely surviving the hara-kiri.

"I look at this man,
a repeat offender,
and think about all the people living
in freedom who place a lower price
on their honor,
who don't think it's all that bad
to swipe a couple thousand rubles
from an elderly man or woman,"
Bro Khodorkovsky writes.
