Russian Newspaper Publishes Politkovskaya’s Unfinished Article

HeadlineOct 13, 2006

In Russia, the newspaper of slain Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya has published the unfinished article she was writing at the time of her murder. Politkovskaya was killed Saturday as she returned home to her apartment. She was one of Russia’s leading journalist and human rights advocates. The unfinished article is a detailed account of brutal torture committed by Russian-backed Chechen officials. Many believe Politkovskaya was killed because of her outspoken criticism of President Vladimir Putin, the Chechen war — and possibly the unfinished article itself.
