I wonder who translated the original text, a Russian idiot or an American one?

The mob has more to fear of journalists than Putin does.

it was most probably domestic crime!
And of course there's no any direct or indirect Putin's fault!

he wasn't a journalist, just one of top manager.

BTW, Itar-tass is state-controled new agency.

And May I ask FR locals one question? Very Curious, Why almost every western media lifted corpse of Politkoskaya and shake it before western audience. "Oh!!! look, it's a crappy Putin's regime. How barbaric it is. She was his uncompromising critic !!!". And immediately without any doubt found him guilty of murder!
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.
i suppose it's not a good point to improve our relation in common and in war on terror particularly. We still have rather considerable number of issues we have to solve. But first of all we need security and enlargement of middle class. And that's what Putin is trying to do. And most of Russian support him. Because if we have no security - no humans right at all(Iraq for example), no middle class - no democracy. So take it easy :)

Looks like "Mother Russia" is alive and well and cleaning house again... Many Russian journalists and bankers have been killed over the last few months. I hope the rest of the world realizes what this really means.

You gotta hand it to him, its a pretty effective way to shut up your critics.

At what point does the danger to the nation presented by a press hostile to the leadership justify these type of actions?

We may soon find out in our own nation.

Is foul play suspected? No joke, I was listening to the news about that other female journalist who was shot and the talking head said "foul play is suspected". Gee, you think?

WoW, Putin is really silencing the media. I wish we would do that here. ;o) I've got recommendations for several I wouldn't mind seeing go live with their great, great, grandfathers. LOL

In all seriousness, didn't a woman reporter just get slain in the last week or two? So much for Democracy in Russia!
