Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has urged Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to intercede in a computer piracy case against a Russian headteacher.
The plea came in an open letter published on Mr Gorbachev’s website.
Microsoft representatives in Russia brought the case against Alexander Ponosov, accused of running pirated software on school computers.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has also criticised the prosecution of Mr Ponosov, in Perm, east of Moscow.
