A Russian journalist has been found stabbed and beaten to death on a city road, the second journalist killed in one week in Moscow.
Russian officials said Sunday they are treating the death of Payl Peloyan as a murder. His body was found Saturday.
Mr. Peloyan was the editor of Armyanski Pereulok (Armenian Lane). Investigators are not ruling out a link between his death and his work with the Armenian arts magazine.
Mr. Peloyan's death comes one week after the murder of U.S. citizen Paul Klebnikov, who edited the Russian edition of the U.S. financial magazine, Forbes. Police are investigating possible links between his shooting death and work as a journalist.

The source said Peloyan's death was likely "connected to his business activities, which he preferred to keep quiet."

Russian journalist killed in Moscow? Communist party gaining some momentum in local politics?
Communism took a holiday. Days of Tass will return soon.

Must be the Russkie Mob (ex-KGB) or Russkie Intel Services. Cleaning up after critical leaks just like "Plumbers."
