Basic journalism principle of giving both sides of an argument in a fair way so readers or listeners can make up their own mind. To be shot In her final interview, she described Kadyrov—now president of Chechnya—as the "Chechen Stalin of our days". Politkovskaya was found dead in the lift, in her block of flats in central Moscow on 7 October The funeral was held on 10 October at the Troyekurovskoye Cemetery in the outskirts of Moscow. Before Politkovskaya was buried, more than one thousand mourners filed past her coffin to pay their last respects.
Dozens of Politkovskaya's colleagues, public figures, and admirers of her work gathered at the cemetery. No high-ranking Russian officials could be seen at the ceremony. A few months later, 10 men were detained on suspicion of various degrees of involvement in Politkovskaya's murder. Three men were charged with directly aiding Politkovskaya's killer, who was allegedly the brother of two of the suspects.
There was insufficient evidence to charge the fourth man—an FSB colonel—with the murder, though he was suspected of a leading role in its organisation; he stood trial at the same time for another offence. The case was held before a jury a rare occurrence in Russia [58] and, after the jurors insisted, was open to the press and public. On 25 November , it was reported that Politkovskaya's murder might have been ordered by a politician inside Russia. Murad Musayev, a lawyer for the men on trial, told journalists that the case notes—as one of the interpretations of the crime—mentioned that a politician, based in Russia but not named in those notes , was behind her death.
On 5 December , Sergei Sokolov, a senior editor of Novaya Gazeta , testified in court that he had received information from sources he would not name that defendant Dzhabrail Makhmudov was an agent of the FSB. He said Makhmudov's uncle Lom-Ali Gaitukayev, who was serving a year jail sentence for the attempted murder of a Ukrainian businessman, also worked for the FSB.
Russia's Investigative Committee —with help from the Belgian police—arrested Rustam Makhmudov , the man suspected of killing Anna Politkovskaya, after he was detained in the Chechen Republic and transported to Moscow for questioning. After all three men were acquitted of Politkovskaya's murder in February , her children Vera and Ilya, their lawyers Karinna Moskalenko and Anna Stavitskaya , and senior Novaya Gazeta editor Sergei Sokolov gave their reaction to the trial at a press conference in Moscow. Two years ago, in its Resolution , the Assembly called on the Russian Parliament closely to monitor the progress in the criminal investigations regarding the murder of Anna Politkovskaya and hold the authorities accountable for any failures to investigate or prosecute.
The closure of the trial yesterday can only be regarded as a blatant failure.
I call on the Russian authorities and Parliament to relaunch a proper investigation and shed light on this murder, which undermines not only freedom of expression in Russia, but also its democratic foundation based on the rule of law. There are no excuses for these flawed investigations into murders of politically critical journalists writing against corruption and crime within government, such as the murders of Georgy Gongadze in Ukraine in and Paul Klebnikov in Moscow in Before the trial ended, Stanislav Markelov , a lawyer who had investigated many of the abuses documented by Politkovskaya, was assassinated in Moscow on 19 January In November , the first public results of the investigation into the double shooting suggested that the murders had no immediate connection to the Politkovskaya assassination.
More closely related to Politkovskaya's work as a journalist was the 15 July murder of Natalia Estemirova. A board member of the Memorial human rights society and one of Politkovskaya's key informants, guides, and colleagues in Chechnya, Estemirova was abducted in Grozny and found dead, several hours later, in the neighbouring Republic of Ingushetia.

It is fashionable these days to lament the decline of Russian literature and the hack-work of many contemporary Russian writers: a profession that was once the conscience of the nation and source for world-famous works of art has become just another cheap, low-brow commodity in the new, "freer" market-based economy. Namespaces Article Talk. The Russian Federation has a background of greater than two decades of transformation to a marketplace financial system, yet besides to a data society, to appear again on. Nothing But the Truth.
On 5 August , the prosecution service's objection to the acquittals in the Politkovskaya trial was upheld by the Supreme Court, and a new trial was ordered. In August , Russian prosecutors claimed they were close to solving the murder after detaining Dmitry Pavliuchenkov, a former policeman, who they alleged was the principal organiser.
In December Dmitry Pavliutchenkov was found guilty and sentenced to 11 years in a high security penal colony.
In May five men were convicted of murdering Politkovskaya, including three defendants who had been acquitted in a previous trial. The defendants were three Chechen brothers, one of whom was accused of shooting Politkovskaya in the lobby of her Moscow apartment building. It is still unclear who ordered or paid for the contract killing. In September Vladimir Markin, official spokesman for the Investigative Committee, included the killing of Anna Politkovskaya among the Most Dramatic Crimes in 21st century Russia [77] and claimed that it had been solved.
Her colleagues at Novaya gazeta protested that until the instigator or sponsor of the crime was identified, arrested and prosecuted the case was not closed. On 7 October Novaya gazeta released a video clip of its editors, correspondents, photographers and technical and administrative staff holding text-boards giving details of the case and stating, repeatedly, "The sponsor of Anna's murder has not been found".
In accordance with Russian law there is a year statute of limitation for the "particularly grave" crime of first degree murder. In May that year the case against him was discontinued because the statute of limitations had expired. The Intercept published a top-secret document released by Edward Snowden with a screenshot of Intellipedia according to which [84] [85].
