Grigorii Bondarevskii, a
distinguished professor and member of the Academy of Scientists, was
killed in Moscow on 7 August, presumably the victim of a robbery,
"Nezavisimaya gazeta" and gazeta.ru reported on August 11.
Bondarevskii, 83 years old and a noted Islamist who was an adviser to
the director of the Institute of Oriental Studies, was struck several
times on the head with a blunt object in his Moscow apartment, which
police say was then robbed. Bondarevskii often commented on events in
Chechnya, the rest of the Caucasus, and Iraq. "Nezavisimaya gazeta"
reported that Bondarevskii's desk had been searched and that his
mobile phone was taken during the robbery, meaning that the attack
could have been motivated by a desire for information.

More than half
a dozen leading scholars have been killed in Russia in the last two
years, and no
one has been arrested in any of those cases, "Nezavisimaya gazeta"
reported.
