Ivan Khoutorskoi was gunned down outside the building where he lives on the evening  of November 16th, 2009. “Militants antifascists are often the targets of neonazis in Russia. Street battles take place between “shaven heads” and “antifas” as they say here. Ivan Khoutorskoi escaped three attempts on his life since 2005. (…) the fact that he was killed by bullets is an anomaly” because , in general, the neonazis attack people with knives. The elimination by bullets is the sign of a contracted assassination. (…) According to the left-wing Institute for collective action (IKD)  THE ULTRANATIONALIST MOVEMENT often publishes the names and addresses of antifascists sympathisers and it “calls for their elimination”. (…) The author of a book called Nazism in Russia, Viatcheslav Likhatchev said:” they have been able to do this with the support of very highly placed personalities.”

Commentary: Putin’s Russia is a real nasty place. From the last Czar, passing through to Lenin , Stalin and now the new Kremlin tenant called Putin, Russian people have had their share of misery, exploitation. A revolution in Russia is not a luxury! Pass the word round!
