You can't possibly be serious!
The Russians have a long history of political assassinations. Pre-Soviet, Soviet, post-Soviet. Remember Trotsky and the ice-axe?
Yes, the Soviet Union may have collapsed - but Russia is far from democratic. For the last few years, Putin has been consolidating his power. He's a former Head of the KGB and knows how to do it. We cannot trust him or his government. To compare Russia or any Communist/totalitarian country with America or any of the other Western democracies is just ludicrous. Use your noodle, man!
