   MOSCOW. Dec 31 (Interfax) - Russian computer software specialist
   Dmitri Sklyarov charged with violating the Digital Millennium
   Copyright Act in the United States returned to Moscow on Monday.

      According to an Interfax reporter, at the airport he was welcomed
   by his family and close friends.

      Sklyarov told Interfax that he would see the New Year in with his
   "near and dear ones."

      Earlier Vladimir Katalov, executive director of the Russian
   Elcomsoft company for which Sklyarov worked, told Interfax that the
   programmer plans to hold a news conference for American journalists
   and meet the leadership of the Electronic Frontier Foundation that
   supported him ever since his arrest.

      Earlier Sklyarov's lawyers won court approval for Sklyarov's return
   to Russia. Now he will be waiting for the court decision on the
   Elcomsoft case in Moscow calling representatives of U.S. justice once
   a month.
