Russian-Israeli Mafia Boss Murdered Near Moscow

Russian-Israeli Mafia Boss Murdered Near Moscow — MosNews.Com reports. This poor kid had once made headlines, becoming the first and the last Russian mobster, who was extradited from Israel on Russian authorities' request. Needless to say, it was extremely easy for Mr. Zhuravlyov to buy his way out of Russian jail: there is no such thing as juror protection in Moscow, so if any gentleman on that jury could not be bought outright, he could be easily and cheaply intimidated by thugs working for the defendant.

It proved a more difficult task, however, to obtain adequate protection from Mr. Zhuravlyov's own colleagues. Unsurprisingly for a man of his trade, he used to have too many enemies, and they proved more efficient in dealing with him, than both local police and the courts.

May we remain in peace, after the passing of this belligerent compatriot of ours.
