Bush Family Business

From The St. Petersburg Times:

Kremlin outcast Boris Berezovsky and Neil Bush, the scandal-tainted brother of the U.S. president, have joined forces in an educational software company that they are trying to promote in the former Soviet Union.

With the unusual partnership, many believe Berezovsky has succeeded in further annoying President Vladimir Putin, who counts George W. Bush as a friend.

The investment in Bush’s company, Ignite!, also sees him joining a well-connected group of former and current shareholders such as former President George H.W. Bush and major Asian and Middle East financiers, at a time when Berezovsky claims he has been struggling to gain permission to travel to the United States.

The flip side for Berezovsky is that he has become a shareholder in a U.S. company that has come under criticism in the United States for dumbing down schoolwork and for peddling political ties.

The article includes detailed discussion of all parties involved, including background on Neil Bush. Not pretty stuff, but plenty to get you thinking!
