I don't know, never bought them

In that case more proper question will be: "How much is to order a murder in Columbia and how much in Russia?"

Scorpio is right, if you compare murder rates of journalists vs. bankers/businessmen/foreigners it really pales in comparison!

I couldn't complain more, guys! But anyway, the figures seem outrageous and it's very disappointing to see Russia high on the list of murder rates regardless of the difference in population. And Columbia doesn't claim that it's on the way to prosperity and that it's approaching the developed world these days. Some people here in Russia do claim this.

Long live the king...Putin!

I personally don't think he is the only person in Russia to blame for the outrageous stats. Putin's not that bad, I believe. Not as bad as he's portrayed outside Russia.

To be honest, I haven't heard of this story! The article's very brief, I think, to develop a good understanding of the story. Has anyone heard anything of that journalist? Maybe, it's just me watching very little news nowadays...
Even though I don't know much about htis case, I would say that she might claim whatever she pleases but I'm already starting to think that the idea of leaving Russia through political asylum simply because you're a jounalist might soon become very popular with those who are not content with what they have in Russia and wishing to go to a better place. Again though, these are all my tentative conclusions.

And, if they wish to leave Russia, can you blame them???

I didn't mean that! I reckon everyone has a right to do whatever they want. If for some reason you are not satisfied with your life in your native country, you can make an attempt to immigrate. If you succeed in getting a passport of another country where you think life's better, you're lucky.
To my way of thinking, too many people leave Russia on financial grounds rather than for fear of getting killed because of their political views.
