Stanislav Markelov Murdered

Lord Soley

More bad news from Russia. Yet another human rights activist has been shot in a well used public street in daylight. The murderers never seem to get caught. It’s impossible to have any real confidence in the police and judicial system in Russia. Tragic.

    Do you think any of this could be traced back to the destabilising effects of the Washington Consensus “shock therapy” mechanisms by which Russia was wrested from the stifling but comforting arms of communism and had its economy systematically plundered over the last 16 years?
