The shooting has stirred painful memories of the Chechen wars
The shooting of Yuri Budanov, who was one of Vladimir Putin's highest-profile soldiers in Chechnya before being arrested and jailed for murder, was largely greeted with silence by Moscow's political elite.
Calls for a hearing into the death of the disgraced former colonel, gunned down two years after being paroled, were rejected by Russia's parliament. The ruling party explained it was too early to draw conclusions.
It was left to prosecutors to state the bald facts of the killing: shot four times in the head on a Moscow avenue around noon on 10 June; gunman fled in car later found abandoned and on fire a few streets away; pistol fitted with silencer recovered from same car.
