Those who experience a tragedy and discuss it in the newspaper, on television, or on blogs — these people are also a reality, a reality that can move something.
 It was three years ago. My passport had been stolen and I went to the police to write a statement about its loss or theft. My precinct officer was not there, and so someone else, a young guy, received me. When he learned from the questionnaire where I work, he asked me a question. He asked it so earnestly, and with such surprise, honesty, and he looked into my eyes with such purity and said: «Why did you at 'Novaya Gazeta' raise such a fuss about the death of Anna Politkovskaya?» At that moment I thought that I had lost my mind. The blood rushed to my head, and immediately I wanted to really do something to this policeman, to physically destroy him somehow. But, instead, I talked with him very quietly, very slowly, and very clearly. This is totally atypical for me. In such cases my origin from a southern city starts to show, and I yell, I roar and insult… But here I was, sitting there, I am outwardly calm, and I tried to cram something into this officer’s head.

 One of Russia's worst days
October 7th, 2006 was a clear, almost warm Saturday afternoon. For a worker from Novaya Gazeta, it was a day of getting the Monday edition ready. So it was that I was conducting this and keeping a column free at Anya's request, material about torture in Chechnya. Anya was always precise and obligatory, and if for some objective reason she was late on an article, she always called. But on that day…
Lunchtime came and went, then it was 4:05 pm and still no text message or call to the office. I then called. It rang a long time. But how they seem alarmingly short when people are just busy! But I had a soothing thought: maybe Anya was still at the hospital with her mother (we knew she was going to go there) and just had just turned the ringer off to avoid being disturbed.
If only our lives were subject to normal, human logic!
And then the terrible news — such news gets broadcast instantaneously. And somehow you just know it, when it is the truth.
At 4:04 pm Anya was no more.

On May 28th, 2010, the House of Journalists in the capital hosted a discussion of the topic: “What do we know about Anna Politkovskaya?” The International League of Young Journalists organized the discussion with the support of the Union of Russian Journalists. It turns out that we know very little, and we do not have a desire, and are unlikely ever to have a desire, to explore her works. The meeting, however, was able to discuss whether journalists were able to change the nation. Twelve people came to hear about Anna, and they learned about her from people who knew her: ‘Novaya Gazeta’ staff commentator Vyacheslav Izmailov, ‘Novaya Gazeta’ deputy editor Vitaly Yaroshevsky, and Vitaly Chelyshev, deputy editor of ‘Journalist’ magazine.

The rally began at 4:03 pm with a moment of silence — it was on this time on October 7th, 2006, that the killer shot Politkovskaya.

Новое рассмотрение дела об убийстве Анны Политковской, скорее всего, начнется уже в июле Фото: Владимир ВЕЛЕНГУРИН | One of the most sensational cases in recent times, the murder of opposition journalist Anna Politkovskaya, is to be reexamined. The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation had overturned sentences related to the case for two Chechen natives, Jabrail and Ibrahim Makhmudov, as well as for FSB officer Pavel Ryaguzov and former Moscow city major crimes operative Sergey Khajikurbanov.Be first to comment this article | Add as favourites (98) | Views: 995 | E-mail |
