Putin on the Ritz

Swamp wisdom
It seems that a lot of President Putin's enemies end up dead in horrible ways.

The most recent mysterious death was a former KGB spy who defected to the U.K. All of the sudden, heavens to Betsy, he died of a bizarre poison (possibly thallium). This is the latest in a long series of "my goodness that's an unusual way to die" murders over the last several years.

Great article about this in "The Economist"

I love modern Russia: All the evil of the old Soviet Union, but without all the rhetoric about workers and social justice.
