The first two pictures are of riot police breaking up protests in Moscow. I'm not sure of the exact dates or circumstances, but you can find photos and stories about anti-Putin protests being violently broken up in May 2012 and on other occasions.

The other photo is of the Moscow apartment bombings that many assume to have been a government action that went terribly wrong. I tried to get photos of the killing of Anna Politkovskaya and the beatings of other journalists, but didn't find pictures that could clearly and easily convey what happened in a single image.

For all the talk about America being a tyranny now or headed down that road, the praise of Putin makes me wonder if some people's objection may not be that the tyranny isn't tough enough or effective enough or directed at the right people. I wouldn't want an actual (former) KGB man running the US.
