You knew this man..who was shot within viewing distance of the Kremlin..I have no words..except to convey my deepest sympathies for the loss of your very brave friend..he seems to be the only respected person who had the nerve to stand up to this "Rock Star" president..I live near the west coast of Vancouver, BC..where the Russians were protesting & both sides were represented. Mind you, I am about to start protesting over here too, if our democratic government doesn't start taking the issue of the murders of missing & murdered aboriginal women seriously!!!
