You give too much credit to Vladimir. He's a KGB member and he does it a different way. He puts his opponents into a prison via fake criminal cases (read about Alexei Navalny and his brother Oleg). This is his way/signature/a method of doing with people who he's afraid of. He does not kill. He uses Russian "legal system".

This is how your brother (not you, but your close family member) will look like if you go against Putin:



As about the mentioned killed persons. Everyone here is aware who did that. But (believe me or not), Putin is afraid of that man. He would like to get rid of him, but he can't. He's weak.
