My name is Andre Altherr and I’ll be your Crisis Director for the Cabinet of Armenia: 1920 committee. I’m from New York City and am currently a Second Year at the University of Chicago majoring in History and Political Science. Despite once having a social life, I now spend my free-time on much tamer activities like reading 800-page books on Armenian history, reading 900-page books on Central European history, and relaxing with the best of Stephen King and 20th century sci-fi anthologies. When not reading, I enjoy hiking, watching Frasier, and trying to catch up on much needed sleep. I’ve helped run and participated in numerous Model UN conferences in both college and high school, and I believe that this activity has the potential to hone public speaking, develop your creativity and critical thinking, and ignite interest in new fields. Devin and I care very deeply about making this committee an inclusive space in which all of you feel safe, comfortable, and motivated to challenge yourself to grow as a delegate, statesperson, and human. We trust that you will conduct yourselves with maturity and tact when discussing sensitive subjects.

    A DOCUMENTARY BY CATHRYN COLLINS 88 minutes 2010 In English and Russian with English subtitles Distributor Contact: SEVENTH ART RELEASING 1614 N. Fairfax Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90046 phone (323) 845-1455 fax (323) 845-4717 [email protected] www.7thart.com SYNOPSIS 329 words Mikhail Borisovich Khodorkovsky, formerly the wealthiest man in Russia, was arrested at gunpoint on a snowy Siberian runway on October 25, 2003. After challenging the absolute power of President Vladimir Putin in the name of an open society, his oil company, YUKOS, was seized, followed by a trial that caused international outrage. He remains defiantly imprisoned and is currently being tried on new charges of having stolen a larger sum from YUKOS than its annual gross receipts. Khodorkovsky’s life, the way in which he rose to prominence and the dramatic circumstances of his fall, are a chilling metaphor for the violent political and socioeconomic changes occurring in Russia in the last two decades. VLAST (POWER) shows how liberty and the rule of law have become casualties of the new Russia in a compelling scenario of political intrigue in an oil dependent economy. Exemplifying the wide net cast to bring down Khodorkovsky’s empire, VLAST (POWER) tells the stories of several key members of his inner circle, of their persecution and destruction of their lives. It highlights the unchecked idealism that characterizes the earliest generation of “new Russians,” the best and the brightest who were handpicked as lieutenants by Khodorkovsky, young people who came of age with the fall of the Berlin Wall, inspired by prospects of democracy and an open society.
