Comments suggest I was a bit obtuse with the above comment.
The point would be that the basic question in Russia is
whether or not "law" rules.  If law does not rule then
it is possible for a situation to develop where people
toss frozen bodies/heads into the street.

I am stretching to extrapolate the lack of "rule-of-law"
in Russia to the U.S. *but* I am not stretching things
too far (witness current anti-abortion trends).
