Orlin Grabbe</A> ----- Russia Tax Police Raid Media Group Opposed to Kremlin Tax police are the same everywhere. MOSCOW, May 11, 2000 -- (Agence France Presse) Russian police have raided the headquarters of the Media-MOST group run by media baron Vladimir Gusinsky, whose outlets have sharply criticized the Kremlin, the Interfax news agency reported Thursday. Armed tax police accompanied by officers from the interior ministry's economic crimes unit took part in the operation, Interfax reported, citing police sources. Searches were also being carried out at the group's NTV-Internet and Memonet subsidiaries, the agency reported. Media Most groups some of the best-known private media outlets in Russia, notably the national NTV television channel, the Echo Moscow radio station and the Sevodnya daily newspaper. Once pro-Kremlin, the group backed Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov and former prime minister Yevgeny Primakov ahead of legislative elections last December. They ran on a platform overtly hostile to the Kremlin. During March presidential elections, the group provided liberal reformer Grigo ry Yavlinsky with a platform to attack the Kremlin of ex-president Boris Yeltsin and the man who eventually succeeded him, Vladimir Putin.
