"Ukraine accused Russia of “state terrorism” after a former Russian lawmaker and key witness in a treason case against former leader Viktor Yanukovich was shot dead in broad daylight outside a hotel in central Kiev on Thursday.

Russia called the allegation “absurd”.

--

As has Russia every other time an inconvenient witness, critic, reporter,  activist, lawyer or whistleblower suddenly became dead.

This has the fingerprints of the FSB/KGB all over it.

These guys haven't changed their modus operandi since Stalin had Trotsky assassinated in 1940 (after several bungled attempts, no less).

Russia is a tyranny, Putin is a vicious dictator.

This is what vicious dictators do.

Dictatorship 101.
