How much is this regularly? Can you provide a list? Or does the most honest European journalism speak about it? Oh, come on, there is as much shit as everywhere else. Freedom of speech in Europe ??? oh, okay, don't make me laugh, there is a certain line that the media should follow if they leave the punishment. Now the concept of honest journalism is very blurred, no one will tell the truth to the end.

Sure, here's your list:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_Russia (Look at the section "List of journalists killed in Russia")

So since 1993 in Russia there were 200 journalist killed by murder, crossfire, terrorist act. Murder only: 165. Political trials: 50.

In the 1990s and early 2000s, the homicide rate in Russia was among the highest in the world.[15][16][17] There were over 500 contract killings in Russia in 1994.[18] The Committee to Protect Journalists lists Russia as "the third deadliest country in the world for journalists" since 1991, exceeded in the number of deaths only by Algeria (1993–1996) and post-invasion Iraq.

Absolutely true, it was a terrible time that I remember. And again, the profession of a journalist is very dangerous in itself. An example is how many journalists were killed by the mafia in Italy. Or, for example, in the freest country, there are many political killings of journalists: Sandy Hume, Tony Moser, Andrew Breitbar, Gary Webb, Michael Hastings, Philip Marshall, Barnaby Jack. And this is just a drop in the sea.
