Lebedev, who is serving out his prison term near the town of Velsk in Russia's northern Arkhangelsk region, filed an appeal last week against his sentence, described by his lawyer as "unlawful and groundless."

Khodorkovsky and Lebedev have denied all charges against them, claiming that the Yukos case was revenge by Russia's powerful Prime Minister Vladimir Putin for Khodorkovsky's sponsorship of opposition groups in Russia in the early 2000s. The Russian authorities have categorically denied the claim.

In June 2011, both men's sentences were reduced by one year.

Khodorkovsky and Lebedev had been nearing the end of a separate eight-year sentence for fraud and tax evasion after their 2005 trial when they put on trial again. They were then given a further sentence in December 2010, meaning they would have to stay in jail until 2017.

"I know that you pay a special attention to where a person would work after his early release," Dmitry Muratov said. "That's why I would like to offer Platon Leonidovich [Lebedev] a job as an economic observer in our newspaper."

The editor-in-chief of opposition Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta offered a job with his paper to Platon Lebedev, the jailed former business partner of Yukos CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky, at a court parole hearing on Tuesday.
