"Unknown assailants shot Eduard Chuvashov dead in the entranceway of an apartment building at 24 Strelbishchensky Street and fled," a police source was quoted by RIA Novosti as saying.

Then they say that in Italy you can not live, because there is too much crime?, I must say that Russia is no exception, even for me and the nation that there is more unbearable, no less in Germany and such.
Even if I would pay would go to visit Russia.
Italy and unfortunately a victim of television, but one thing is for sure, 100 thousand times better than Italy.
