It also lists Chechen terrorists. The same kind of list for the US would include thousands of people killed by drone strikes.

If you're seriously going to downvote me and claim that Russia hasn't been assassinating people then you're either being paid by their government or you're just being a troll. If you want to dispute the list Wikipedia posted, then dispute it. The "But the US kills people too!" is literally completely irrelevant. And if you want to cite a list of US journalists who have been hunted down and assassinated by direction of the President, be my guest - please just hold your breath until your list hits 5 names.

The idea isn't that Russia doesn't assassinate people, it does. The idea is that Russia assassinates everyone that opposes it even when it is against their interest.

So... we're moving the goal posts? Because OP said he didn't believe that double digit people had been assassinated by Russia, so I provided his proof. I haven't seen anyone claim "Russia assassinates EVERYONE that opposes it" besides you.

The claim was not that more than 9 people were assassinated by Russia, but that 10% or more of the entire opposition was assassinated. Which is absolutely not supported and would lead to at the very least hundreds of thousands of assassinations.

And now I'd like to see a list of living Russian people who oppose Russian government. The problem, for me, was the claim about double digits part (I think it was about percentage - the double digits thing).

Opposing is not enough. Opposing while being popular (or wealthy), now that puts one at risk.

You keep presenting a list of homicides and/or contract killings.

Going by exemplar logic in your answer to gdy above, you are either paid by, say, Navalny or you are a troll. Okay then.
