Vladimir Putin

[HoreTore]

He's responsible in the sense every head of state is responsible for not making the country a better place. He's responsible to his electorate for that, not to courts.

Not just "making the country safer". What do you think would happen if one of Putin's propaganda journalists died, would we see more or less investigation than we saw when Politkovskaja died? And "making the country safer" sounds like Politkovskaja was a victim of general crime, but Kadyrov is Putin's strongman. He's not a nobody.

Negligence is actually a crime. Selective law enforcement is called corruption, which is also a crime. Few bosses actually "order hits"; the underlings are supposed to know intuitively when the head honcho wants someone whacked. This is the situation in Russia.
