Subject: Remembering Paul Klebnikov-CBS Report 4/30, Website

Tomorrow, on Saturday April 30th, at 10 PM (ET) CBS 48 Hours is broadcasting an hour-long special on Paul Klebnikov's life and death, called "The Man Who Knew Too Much". Paul (Pavel) Klebnikov, an American journalist and editor-in-chief of Forbes Russia who was shot nine times on July 9, 2004, in a contract killing as he left Forbes magazine's Moscow headquarters. Klebnikov shocked many Russians when he published a list of the 100 wealthiest Russians, complete with financial details. He also made many potential enemies publishing his book about Berezovsky called "Godfather of the Kremlin." In his most recent book, "Conversation with a Barbarian," Klebnikov addressed the Chechen conflict. Just before he was killed, Klebnikov was probing corruption in Moscow's real estate business and investigating perhaps the most risky business of all, the auto industry of Togliatti and a murder of another journalist, Vlad Listijev who had exposed fraud at Togliatti years ago. In addition, there is a web site http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/04/28/48hours/main691763.shtml
which has a handful of family photos of Paul, as well as a video introduction to the story airing Saturday evening.
