The business chief of Russian news agency Itar-Tass, Anatoly Voronin, was killed on Sunday night in his apartment in central Moscow, the agency reported. Death was the result of multiple knife wounds, according to police, Itar-Tass reported. Several theories are being investigated, the agency said.

The body of 55-year-old Voronin was found at his home by his driver, the news agency said. He had worked at the agency for 23 years. His death is the latest in a spate of high-profile killings in Russia in little over a month.

We, in Russia, use Internet, read foreign press watch foreign media. And for the most don't like it. Because it's always lights Russia from bad side. I can say more if all Russians watch foreign media, attitude towards west would become match worse.

LOL, kinda sucks, doesn't it? We Americans know how you feel!

"Why almost every western media lifted corpse of Politkoskaya and shake it before western audience. "

Because the Blood Sucking Russians refuse to atone for the 100 million they murdered in the last century.
