Jittery Kremlin fears coup attempt to topple Putin from within by exiled billionaire Russian oil tycoon - as crowds chant about overthrowing regime in St Petersburg

The Kremlin has accused an exiled Russian oil tycoon of plotting to violently topple the regime of Vladimir Putin and of creating a 'terrorist organisation'.

It comes as hundreds of Russians called for the dictator to be overthrown in a rare show of public dissent in St Petersburg.

Russian authorities opened a fresh investigation against Mikhail Khodorkovsky, once the country's richest man and one of Putin's fiercest critics.

The former Yukos oil magnate was accused by the country's domestic intelligence service (FSB), alongside 22 other exiled businessmen, politicians and activists, of plotting a coup.

The anti-Kremlin dissidents have also been accused of supporting Ukrainian units to overthrow Russia by force.

While the group have historically faced such persecution from the Kremlin, the fresh investigation heralds a new crackdown on dissidents abroad - reflecting a growing fear within Moscow about the power of opposition to dismantle the dictatorship.

On October 13, crowds of Russians called for Putin to be overthrown in a demonstration in Kazanskaya Square.

The protestors, who were joined by street musicians, sang the banned anti-war lyrics to Co-operative Swan Lake by Noize MC, a pro-Ukrainian rapper, which was being played by a band that had set up in the historic square.

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Putin is destroying Russia with his selfish, endless "blood & conquest" obsessions, just like Hitler did to Germany

Even the long-suffering Russian people can see it now

Putin better make peace real soon, or he'll wind up getting the Ceaucescu treatment ... and they might not wait till Christmas ...
