OMG. The Russian asking forgiveness for the Dutch murdered victims of flight MH 17.

Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

Novaya Gazeta (Russian: Новая газета, translated as New Gazette) is a Russian liberal opposition newspaper well known in its country for its critical and investigative coverage of Russian political and social affairs.[2] Four Novaya Gazeta journalists, including Yury Shchekochikhin and Anna Politkovskaya, have been murdered since 2001.[3]

Somebody in Kremlin may go berserk about it.  ;D

I hope that the Russian government will not send another hitman to kill more of those honest journalists.

Outside the Dutch embassy in Moscow the day after the crash it was reported that there was a note in Russian saying 'Forgive us'. Reported on BBC or in one of the newspapers that day.

Russia should lose hosting the 2018 World Cup over this, but then the FIFA officials would have to refund their bribes
