Moscow Lawyer Boris Kuznetsov Seeks Asylum in U.S. to Escape the Persecution by Russian Secret Service FSB (former KGB). Kuznetsov says that he is writing a book about his professional activities in Russia, including in the cases of Igor Sutyagin, who was convicted of revealing state secrets; the tragedy of the submarine Kursk; and former member of the Federation Council Levon Chakhmakhchyan, who is now on trial for demanding $300,000 from chairman of the board of Transeaero Alexander Plashakov. Kuznetsov claims that it was those three cases that got him in trouble with the FSB(KGB). Kuznetsov in Moscow City Court after the court hearings
