A Russian journalist who has paid with his life testimonanianze.

In Chechnya, visited often, visiting refugee camps, interviewing both the Russian military and civilian Chechens. Not spare criticism of the Russian forces in Chechnya, documenting in detail the abuses on the civilian population and the alleged complicity and silence of the first two Minister of Chechnya, Ahmad Kadyrov and his son Ramsan, both backed by Moscow.

Politkvoskaja I believe that Anna deserves to be remembered, especially as an example of courage, the strength of his complaint to his ideas of journalism "objective and service."
His memory be an example to a journalism workshop and servant of power, which, unfortunately more and more we are accustomed to tolerate and pretend not to see.
" sensitive to the pain of the oppressed, incorruptible, glacial to compromise, Anna was, and still is, a reference model. Far beyond recognition, money, career, and his genuine thirst for truth, fire is unconquerable. " (André Glucksmann on Anna Politkovskaya)
