Moscow Killing Opposition?

It certainly appears that way. With the radioactive poisoning case as well as this one, there's quite a bit of evidence that Moscow is now doing targeted assassinations against various people now.

However, it's difficult to blame the Russians for this one:

He now runs several businesses here while also plotting Putin’s demise. He boasts of bankrolling a group in Russia who aim to bring Putin down by force.

Last night security expert Chris Dobson said the plot to assassinate him showed “Putin is behaving like the thug he always was”.

Mr Dobson added: “The Russians have always believed it is their right to assassinate their enemies wherever they are. They take no notice of diplomatic treaties.”

So you're having a guy who's trying to overthrow the Russian government and take out Putin in a coup, but he's saying that Putin is "behaving like a thug"? Then he has the nerve to mention they don't recognize treaties, but this guy is wanting to remove Putin by force.

I don't know about you, but I might be tempted to send out a couple of Zips after a guy like that if I were in Putin shoes as well.
