Mikhail Dmitrievitch Prokhorov the 46 year old Russian billionaire entrepreneur industrialist in precious metals and owner of the New Jersey Nets basketball team in the US has confirmed an intention to enter Russian politics, the first high profile Russian businessman to do so since the 2003 demise of Mikhail Khodorkovsky the former oil magnate who was imprisoned and his assets seized by the state. Prokhorov has submitted a proposal to the pro-business ‘Right Cause Party’, seeking to head up the political leadership of the party in readiness for the nation’s elections at the end of this year. The ‘Right Cause Party’ does not at this stage hold any political office within the nations parliament.
