Anna Politkovskaya was an outstanding woman, devoted writer, and Human Rights activist. On October 7th 2006, a group of cowards assassinated her because they were afraid to face the truth. She was murdered because she exposed the crimes of the Russian government. Throughout the years Politkovskaya had been tracked down, followed, and investigated but that did not discourage her. Even after several failed assassination attempts, she kept going because she knew that she possessed a gift that was no match for the Russian government. She had the gift of writing, and wrote about the facts. Anna revealed the secrets that government tried kept hidden, and exposed their evil deeds. Even though her life was at stake she never gave up, she knew that it was her duty to keep the world informed. The world will never forget her. We salute Anna Politkovskaya.

Anna Politkovskaya


Reporter: My Chechen Sources Were Killed

Reporter: My Chechen Sources Were Killed
Novaya Gazeta reporter Anna Politkovskaya has said that many of the residents of Chechen villages who complained to her in February that paratroopers from a nearby base were kidnapping villagers for ransom were later killed by the military in retaliation.
"Those who spoke openly to me, ignoring any [possible] consequences, are not alive any more," Politkovskaya wrote in this week's issue of the newspaper.
"They disappeared. They were murdered. Their corpses were bought back [by their relatives]. ... How I am supposed to live with all this?"
In February, Politkovskaya and Zeinap Gashayeva, co-founder of the Echo of War human rights group based in Ingushetia, visited several villages in the mountainous Vedeno district, including Khatuni and Makhkety. Politkovskaya spoke to villagers and saw the deep pits at the 45th airborne unit, located near Khatuni, where they said people were held until ransom was paid. She then reported what ...

Anna Politkovskaya

posted by Justice For North Caucasus - Anna Politkovskaya. on July, 2004 as Anna Politkovskaya


Anna Politkovskaya - the well-known war reporter of the Novaya Gazeta newspaper, arrived by helicopter to the village of Khankala on Thursday afternoon. There she had to undergo thorough questioning on details of her detention in Chechnya that took place shortly beforehand. Politkovskaya plans to return to Moscow on Friday. NTV correspondents met with the journalist in Khankala. Anna told them she had been brought to Khankala near 2:00 pm Moscow time on Thursday. Prior to that she had been held at the army unit in Khatuni, a village near Vedeno for two days. In official news reports the military spokesmen claimed she had received a warmed welcome in the unit**, but on Thursday Politkovskaya refuted those reports and made quite the opposite statements.
Judging from the news reports and explanation provided to Gazeta.Ru by the Novaya Gazeta's military observer Major Vyacheslav Izmailov, here is how it all happened: On Monday ...

Anna Politkovskaya: Putin, poison and my struggle for freedom

Anna Politkovskaya: Putin, poison and my struggle for freedom

 

She has been poisoned by men she suspects worked for Russia's secret service and held in a pit in Chechnya for three days by men she knows for certain worked for the successor of the KGB.

But Anna Politkovskaya, Russia's most famous investigative journalist and the most outspoken member of the country's increasingly enfeebled media establishment, has not buckled under the pressure.

Yesterday her most searing critique of the Russian government to date, a book entitled Putin's Russia, was published in the UK. Its contents are likely to send the Kremlin's spin doctors into paroxysms of anger for she paints her main subject, President Vladimir Putin, in a devastating light.

Deploying her legendary blunt prose to great effect, she savages the man she calls "a KGB snoop," and warns that he is moving the country back to a Soviet-style dictatorship. She also does what Moscow ...

Link: http://serwisy.gazeta.pl/swiat/1,34174,2094754.html
Marcin Wojciechowski: Where this video-movie, which shows the guards unloading Chechens from trucks and loading them to those prison railroad cars has been taken?
Anna Politkovskaya: That was on a railroad side-track near the Chervlyonnya station in the northern Chechnya. People who could be seen in this video are the fighters captured after the battle for Komsomolskoye on the turn of February-March 2000. That was the biggest battle of this war in Chechnya besides the siege of Grozny . Then some 1,500 people were defending themselves in that native village of commander Ruslan Gelayev. The army used airplanes and heavy artillery. A part of fighters broke through the encirclement, a part  was taken prisoner.  The were promised amnesty, to encourage the other guerillas to surrender.
Have people seen on this vido clips been already amnestied?
That's what  a ...

ANNA POLITKOVSKAYA, JOURNALIST

posted by Justice For North Caucasus - Anna Politkovskaya. on February, 2004 as Anna Politkovskaya


ANNA POLITKOVSKAYA
JOURNALIST, NOVAYA GAZETA :
I have a lot of links with Maskhadov's people. My point of view was Maskhadov needed to go to these bandits and say to them openly, please don't do it. Please free all the kids. After midday until evening, of course, I discussed all these details about maybe Maskhadov's future departure to Beslan. In absolutely the open air of mobile phones.

WARK:
What happened to you when you got on the plane to Rostov?

POLITKOVSKAYA:
One boy, I didn't know him, gave me this cup of tea. I drank it and after ten minutes, I began to feel very, very bad. After that I heard only two, three words. The crew beat me on the face and asked me, cried to me, "Please don't die. Don't die." After that I discovered myself in the hospital.

WARK:
Did anyone say to you that you had been poisoned?

POLITKOVSKAYA :
Doctors said God bless you, and ...

Politkovskaya's Duty Is to Cover Chechnya's War

Politkovskaya's Duty Is to Cover Chechnya's War

(WOMENSENEWS)--Anna Politkovskaya was exhausted on a late Sunday night in December.
A mother of two and one of Russia's most daring journalists, she has made a career of covering the wars in Chechnya. That evening she had been out in the cold protesting the disappearance of democratic freedoms in Russia in central Moscow. The march, which was scheduled to coincide with the anniversary of the Battle of Moscow during the Second World War, drew thousands.
Politkovskaya, however, was disheartened that many in Russia would never even know the demonstration had taken place.
"It's absolutely forbidden to cover democratic activities," she said in a phone interview from her home in Moscow. "We don't have one independent TV channel, just state channels. We have one independent radio station and two newspapers. It's absolutely little for such a huge country."
But protesting in the cold and fighting for democracy is nothing ...
