On 7 October 2006, journalist Anna Politkovskaya was shot dead in the lift of the apartment building in Moscow where she lived. In her career as a journalist Anna Politkovskaya worked for Izvestia from 1982 to 1993 (on the emergencies and accidents section); as assistant chief editor to Egor Yakovlev at Obshchaya gazeta, (writing primarily about social problems — particularly refugees); and from 1999 to 2006 she wrote a regular column for Novaya gazeta (with a special focus on Chechnya). She also published a number of award-winning books about Chechnya, life in Russia, and the Putin administration.
Anna Politkovskaya
On Friday, 9 October 2020, Caucasian Knot reported:
‘Anna Politkovskaya was a bright example of an honest journalist who did not break down under authorities’ pressure, those who took part in the memorial action in Moscow have stated. In a year, the statute of limitations for her murder case will expire; and the still unfound customer will remain unpunished, Dmitry Muratov, the editor-in-chief of the “Novaya Gazeta” newspaper, has stated. The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that on the 14th anniversary of Anna Politkovskaya’s murder, an action in her memory was held in Moscow. Also, the Sakharov Centre showed Marina Goldovskaya’s film “The Bitter Taste of Freedom”. The film has perfectly revealed Anna’s personality, spectators have noted.’
