Another Putin critic is killed by someone with 'mental health issues'

If you're a Russian, opposing Vladimir Putin just isn't healthy.

Another Kremlin critic has found that out the hard way. Journalist Arkady Babchenko moved to Kiev because he was receiving death threats. There, he continued to do stories critical of Russia's aggression against Ukraine. His wife found him bleeding from a gunshot wound in their apartment. He died on the way to the hospital. The local police do not hesitate to ascribe the murder to political motives.

Russian television journalist  Tatiana Felgengauer survived a knife attack a few months ago. The government said that the attacker had mental health issues. Being attacked by people with mental health issues is apparently an occupational hazard for Russian journalists critical of the Putin regime; another anchor at Felgenganer's station quit recently after having it happen several times.
