Exhibit Opening on Khodorkovsky-Lebedev Trial

In a Moscow factory, cartoon figures illustrate the courtroom saga of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, which supporters say is intended to keep interest in his fate alive.
The Los Angeles Times comments that the prosecutors rear out like gargoyles from the walls overhead, fingers jabbing into the air. There are massive cartoon faces of witnesses, lawyers and defendants on the walls, with words popping in balloons from their lips.
A voice commands "Stand up!" as visitors climb the stairs to the exhibition, invoking the opening moments of a trial; "The judge is coming."
