What's going on in Russia?

I saw that the countries richest man has been arrested. I was flipping through cable tv and the ridiculous FOX news had a caption that said "Is Russia Returning to Communism?" SO what is going on?

For what reason was he arrested for?

I really don't know. I was hoping someone here would know.

Here in Finland it has receved quite alot of news coverage. Its a part of Putins longstanding feud with oligarchs (the wastly infulential billionares). Mainly its about freezeing their assets and scaring them so they cant or wont support an opposition candidate in the up coming elections.

But when president who is backed by the military and the secret service and the billionares clash who is the loser? You guessed right the people.
