What "turn"? Things have been like that in Russia for, like, ever. Yeltsin became an autocrat by shooting up the parliament in 1993. Then there was Chechnya. FSB blowing up Russian civilians to create a pretext for the war. The murders of journalists and opposition politicians. The invasion of Georgia in 2008 to stop NATO expansion.
When were politics in Russia not violent? Some time between 1991 and 1993?
