Respected Russian journalist, Ivan Safronov, who reported on military affairs, mysteriously plunged to his death from the 5th floor of his apartment building Friday, making him the 14th journalist to die under questionable circumstances in Putin's Russia, according to statistics compiled by the Committee to Protect Journalists.
"They killed Ivan, they killed Ivan" said a distraught former U.S. intelligence staffer familiar with Safronov, when he learned the news today. "Another Russian journalist is dead. Ivan fell out of the window with his coat and hat on? Come on." said the former official who frequently visits Moscow and asked to remain anonymous.
