In fairness, there haven't been any Western journalists killed in Russia...ever that I'm aware of, and many of the Russian journalists have been killed covering the war in Chechnya.
Despite the screeching from the Soros crowd, I doubt there is much evidence of a central government conspiracy to silence Russian journalists, although clearly the Russian government doesn't kowtow to the media like it does in the US.

What about Cynthia Elbaum and Paul Khlebnikov?
But I’m kind of agree that it is plain dumb to blame Russian government fot death of most of these people. The majority had an obvious dog and fleas problem.
As for Elbaum she may be legitimately counted as a victim of Russian government but you have to take into an account the way it was. She was hanging with Chechen military in the First Chechen War and tried to make a nice photo of an airstrike by federal military. A result in being pulverized by an LGB was very likely.
As for Khlebnikov he has published an insulting interview with one of Chechen warlords in Forbes and said person promised to murder him since the very beginning. He should have take his security more seriously.
I would bet Obama has killed more journalists than Putin has.
