A journalist reappears, and Russia cries foul

(CNN)A journalist is alive, but the truth died a little in Kiev on Wednesday.
To recap: Russia-watchers received a fresh shock on Tuesday night, when they saw reports that Russian journalist and Kremlin critic Arkady Babchenko had been gunned down in an apparent contract killing.
Ukrainian police reported that an unidentified gunman shot and killed him in the entryway to his apartment in Kiev, an apparent murder that bore the hallmarks of a contract hit, and appeared to be part of a wave of targeted killings in Ukraine directed at opponents of Moscow.
    Then Babchenko made a surprise appearance at a press conference Wednesday, very much alive and well.
