TechCrunch has posted up this video interview with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his new Russian partner Yuri Milner of Digital Sky Technologies (see Bob’s post from yesterday). Also see the FT Tech blog for a little more info about Milner’s financial backer Alisher Usmanov, who has close political connections to the Kremlin and runs one of Gazprom’s finance arms. Usmanov has an interesting history of confrontation with the blogosphere.
