Good. Thanks. BTW, if you go to the bottom, you'll see that the list under Yeltson and Medvedev is as long as Putin's. Must be a Russian thing.

I don't doubt that a former KGB head has people assassinated. Welcome to a thugocracy. But Putin is hardly outside the norm, and I never, ever heard a complaint when it was Yeltsin, Gorby, Medvedev, or whomever.

If you didn't hear about it during Putin's long time in power (10+ years), you certainly wouldn't have heard about the other cases.
