The Moscow City Court has charged two suspects in the double murder of a prominent Russian human rights lawyer and a journalist for an opposition newspaper.
If these arrests are true, then the this operations shows the patience and the diligence of the Russian police in their hunt to find out and bring to justice those responsible these heinous crimes. Russia is a multi-ethnic and multi-racial society; it cannot afford to protect those who are willing to kill and maim because they are driven by narrow and destructive nationalists sentiments. If the nationalist party is implicated in these heinous hate crimes, and it can be substantiated, the leader of the nationalist party should also be brought to justice. These arrested go long way to restore Russia's image around the world. Russia needs to continue the pressure until hate crimes are brought under control in the country.
I could be wrong, but accusations of murder and stuff like this can be well used to destroy any politician´s image. Just as in the west, in Russia it can be used to marginalize different opinions and/or political organizations. You dont have to order a party´s illegality, you can just paint them black. What west does for Russia, Russian ruling party can do it inside the country. Even if the reality was different, they are painted black already, the winner takes it all. This is what I think is likely. I dont really have ideals about the justful and really democratic government, since people are fooled everywhere by governments and their 100 times repeated lies to be truths.
