SHE WAS THE FIRST TO RISE UP  During 7 years of war Anya could have been killed at any momentAnna Politkovskaya came to the Novaya Gazeta during the summer of 1999. She appeared just in time for the beginning of the second Chechen campaign (may it be damned). Her first step during the war was the rescue of the most defenseless of people — elderly and mentally ill patients from a Grozny asylum. In late fall of 1999, federal troops surrounded Grozny and bombarded it with heavy artillery and Anya sought the allocation of beds in the Russian nursing homes and hospitals for the inhabitants of Grozny asylum through the Some of them recently responded, after learning of Anya's murder. A soldier who must constantly be the first to rise up in an attack cannot survive seven years of war. All these years Anya was just such a soldier. The first time they tried to deal with her was in February 2001. Residents of the Chechen village of Khatuni asked Anna to save loved ones who had been captured by commandos from the 45th Regiment. Anna was allowed into the unit’s base, where she saw pits for the hostages. Afterwards, she herself became a hostage. From February 21st to the 23rd, GRU and FSB officers taunted and interrogated her, until one night they brought her out to be shot. Anna saved by the fact that, through the Chechens, we have managed to find out her location. We contacted the office of Yastrzhembsky, who back then was the assistant to the President of Russia. We also notified the head of the Chechen government, Stanislav Ilyasov, who went in and brought out Anya. Through our sources, we learned that the Russian security services in Chechnya had been carrying out a hunt for Anya. Anya exposed police officers from the Anna first appeared in the Chechen mountain village of Dai, where a GRU unit under the command of Captain Ulman had shot a group of local teachers and burned their bodies. Anna’s articles exposed these scum and helped bring Ulman’s gang to justice. Afterwards, there were several attempts by officers from the Russian security service to settle the score with Anna. Sympathetic Russian soldiers and Chechen police officers saved her several times. FSB General Shabalkin, on seeing Anna during her latest visit to Khankala, exclaimed: “What? They still haven’t killed you yet!” (Anya herself told me about this.) In October 2002, when terrorists seized the theatrical center on Dubrovka, Anya persuaded the leader of the bandits to allow her to deliver water and fruit juices to the hostages. She had to overcome her fear and carry this entire load several times by herself, and it may have contributed to the survival of many hostages. On September 1st, 2004, when there was the terrorist seizure of School No. 1 in Beslan, Anya was flying to the scene of the tragedy. Since the airport in Beslan was closed, Anna flew to Rostov on Karat Airlines. During the flight, she refused the food that was offered, and even tea. Just before landing, however, she asked the stewardess for a glass of water. After a few sips, Anna felt ill. While already losing consciousness, she telephoned the As we later found out, on the aircraft with Anna were two FSB officers, most likely tasked with accomplishing this mission. Also in 2004, Anna arranged a meeting with (Chechen President) Ramzan Kadyrov at his lair in the village of Tsentoroi. Kadyrov simply mocked Anna, and threatened her. Had we not known where she was, Anna may never have returned. After her return from Kadyrov’s lair, she told her colleagues, including me, of her fear, and the feeling she had that this man and his warriors could do with her whatever they wanted — and even kill her. Soon I received information from our sources that people related to Ramzan Kadyrov were preparing to massacre journalists from ‘Novaya Gazeta’, and, most of all, Politkovskaya. One of our correspondents working in Chechnya had to be quickly rescued from imminent death, and sent to the West with the assistance of the Glasnost Defense fund, headed by Alexei Simonov. We were unable, however, to convince Anya to quit her professional journalistic work in exposing the people involved in extra judicial killings. Those who feared her revelations, who knew that she was incorruptible and could only be stopped by a bullet, murdered Anna Politkovskaya.
