Another person assassinated in Moscow, an attorney, Stanislav Markelov. He worked on a number of controversial cases and represented the family of a Chechen girl, raped and killed by a Russian officer. With Markelov was shot yet another Novaya Gazeta journalist, 25 year-old Anastasia Babyrova. She later died in hospital.
Same blunt way-middle of the day, 3pm, in the very heart of the city.
It feels like there is handful of decent, honest, courageous people left in Russia and I think each and one of them now feels threatened. The rest-are either dancing in 'Stars on Ice' or watching it.
