Martyred human-rights activists; fatally brave journalists: Russia, alas, has plenty of other cases of violent death that are as deserving of outrage as Sergei Magnitsky's. So the fuss over one lawyer's demise might seem overdone. Yet there is something grimly instructive about Magnitsky's story. In a stark, almost cartoonish way, it has demonstrated that Russia is run for the benefit of a ruling clique, rather than in the interests of its people. As this gruesome affair has degenerated from brutal tragedy to bleak farce, those interests have been relentlessly disregarded by officials, politicians and the courts. Designed to deter foreign criticism of Mr Putin's regime, the Magnitsky trial should instead redouble it. But the real lesson is for Russians. Those who remain content with Putinism should heed it, and see that, when the interests of the powerful are at stake, their rulers have no compunction about compromising their economic and political well-being.
