In her book 'A dirty war' Anna Politovskaia describes how russian soldiers were sent to Chechnya without identification tags, without fingerprints recorded or blood sample taken, and mother of the missing soldiers had to wait months or years to receive an answer if their missing sons were dead or not.
Sometimes they traveled to Chechnya to ransom the body of their sons from the mafia.
Now the relatives of MH17 crash victims know that they are dead, but they are in same situation as mothers of young Russian soldiers, without a body to grieve.
It seems that in Russia nothing has changed since Nikolai Gogol wrote the story "Dead Souls".
If in the story a man called Chichikov wants to buy names of dead peasants to increase his social status, now Putin uses dead passengers bodies as bargaining chips in a poker game against the world.
