With Russia for a neighbour it is imposible to avoid some of the news stories coming across the border.Today there is a real belief in Russian govermental conspiracy in a double murder that took place on Tuesday 20th. Human Rights lawyer Stanislav Markelov and a journalist Anastasia Barburova were both shot dead by a masked man in Moscow. Both were also colleagues of murdered reporter Anna Politkovskaja, whose own murder in 7th October 2006 was widely perceived as a contract killing after her criticism of President Putin and the Chechen war.
Opinions anyone?
