I think there is another thread on this already.

Also what will this mother accomplish? She's further defaming the dude.
What we missed above was that this dude was actually an active (small) member of the working local government in Russia.
How does one go from being an upheld government employee to a terrorist?

Something doesnt quite connect.

I was surprised to see this news.Not because Russians took away with the body but the Russians assisted that mother to get the body.

Would she have shelled out stacks of money?
