Members of the pro-Kremlin youth group Nashi, or Ours, were reflected in a puddle at a protest in Moscow against a jailed Russian oil tycoon, Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky. Nashi rallied under the slogan "Thieves must sit in prison." Now back on trial, Mr. Khodorkovsky, 45, stands accused of laundering more than $20 billion and embezzling hundreds of millions of tons of oil when his company, Yukos Oil, was Russia's largest private company. If he is convicted, he could be sentenced to more than 20 years in prison.
