So the number of women killed by domestic partners in Russia is somewhere between 10 and 15 times that of the U.S. I will note that the Russian report specified women killed by husbands, not by boyfriends or domestic partners, so that figure could be much higher.

Russia also has less than half our population. So that would be *30* times the U.S. rate. nomorenomore08 Sep 2014 #5
