Another KGB Killing

It certainly seems as though Russia has reverted to the days of the KGB. Every few months another vocal dissident is killed. The latest is Stanislav Markelov, a lawyer and human rights advocate. A journalist, Anastasia Baburina, with whom he was walking was also killed. Baburina worked for the Novaya Gazeta, which is not a good place to work if you write articles questioning the government, as the staff is gradually being whittled down through murders.
