MOSCOW (Reuters) - A man convicted of killing an air traffic controller linked to a 2002 mid-air collision was given a hero's welcome as "a real human" by a pro-Kremlin group when he returned to Russia from a Swiss jail on Tuesday.
Vitaly Kaloyev, who lost his wife and children in the crash, was set free on Monday evening and immediately flew to Moscow, following last week's ruling by a Swiss court to cut his sentence to five years and three months, of which he had already served two-thirds.
