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.
