His trial was a farce and highly publicized in Germany at the time. Germany is also trying to get Timochenko out of Ukraine, even though (from the point of view of some Ukranians I spoke to) she cheated the country in negotiating some contracts.
I'd rather say this goes with the Zeitgeist, so your question should probably be rephrased from "why him" to "why not also Snowden".

Quick introduction on Russia trials : http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Tribunal_%28episode%29 http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Tribunal_%28episode%29 >Germany is also trying to get Timochenko out of Ukraine yep, one more "prisoner of conscience" of Khodorkovsky type >so your question should probably be rephrased from "why him" to "why not also Snowden". as i already said, there is nothing in common between Khodorkovsky and people like Snowden. Snowden challenged the State, the Order of Things on the right/wrong principles, whereis Khodorkovsky being at the time among largest beneficiaries of the Order of Things challenged a specific person for personal [beneficial] position in that Order of Things.
