Sounds to me like the woman was Pro-Chechen and anti-Russian. I could see how a Russian would consider her's a traitor's death. Kind of like the Dijinc (my spelling is wrong)murder in Serbia - the guy who sold out Milosevic to the Hague.
In today's world, it is considered evil to rid oneselves of turncoats.
something like that, but this with apolitskaya is rather Gobels-type jurnalist killed in country than jurnalist killed in goubels country. She was Soros funded jurnalist, something like Judas... Im not for killing but, someone said "One bullet fiered and hiting the target is not a murder, but a message"
