I feel the need to clarify that Slava doesn't punch people to death, while he generally kills in hand to hand combat, he uses knives or quick neck snaps to kill his opponents. He always kills quickly and quietly, he wouldn't be caught slowly punching someone to death. The reason he does this is to avoid detection, knives don't make a sound.
