13. Well, when the opposition keeps winding up dead

as well as journalists who criticize Putin, it makes sense that the party that benefits most is behind it. But we don't actually have evidence at this point, so I'm not comfortable being too emphatic.

I do find it interesting how many of these murders are high-profile. There are lots of ways to kill someone and have it look like an accident, burglary, etc... but these are spectacular public killings: Litvinenko with polonium-210 and an armed squad of gunman taking out Nevmstov. I don't know the details of the others, but they are probably interesting as well. Russians aren't boring, I'll give them that, and Putin least of all.
