There’s an interesting report at BBC on a series of killings in Turkey apparently perpetrated by Russian hitmen. It’s written in a sort of stream of consciousness style so it’s difficult to excerpt. I couldn’t identify the name of the piece’s author but he seems to believe that the Russian government is behind these killings.
He might be right but there are any number of shadowy and nefarious Russian groups these days. Besides the Russian government there’s organized crime, oligarchs, competing Chechen groups, and others who just might have wanted these men dead. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell where one of these groups ends and another begins.
We’ll need to keep our eyes opened for more developments on this story.

It’s Keyser Soze.
If Chechen became independent do you believe they would not have an authoritarian system?
