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.
