So it's just a huge coincidence that critics of Russia's leadership just happen to keep getting killed in suspicious circumstances?

Since 1992, Russia has had the 7th highest number of journalists killed of any country in the world: https://cpj.org/killed/

Of course. We had fighting in centre of Moscow in 1993, when you democratic Yeltsin was shooting from tanks to parlament. Lots of people killed. Then we had 2 Chechen wars. During that wars west supported muslim terrorists, the same from which ISIS arise now. And you know, when journalist works on war its more likely to be killed then during usual work.
Pls give us data from 2005 till now. When second Chechen war finished.

And I just hope for all of good people in America that USA will never know what is a war on its territory.  

The same site (CPJ) lists 15 journalists killed since 2005. So the rate of deaths since 2005 has been fairly consistent with the rate of deaths since 1992.
