After President Vladimir Putin came to power in 2000, he was reported to have told about two dozen of the men regarded as Russia's top oligarchs that if they stayed out of politics, their wealth wouldn't be touched. Berezovsky, a Putin critic, was granted asylum in the United Kingdom in 2003. Ten years later, he was found dead in his home; a disputed post-mortem examination said he appeared to have hanged himself. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant, File)
