Anna Politkovskaya Biography

Anna Politkovskaya is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on August 30, 1958 in New York City, United States. In Resolution 1535 (2007) The Assembly demanded that the Russian Parliament to be closely monitoring the progress of the criminal investigation into the death of Anna Politkovskaya and hold the authorities accountable for any failure for investigating or prosecuting. The conclusion of the trial yesterday cannot be seen as a flagrant incompetence. I appeal to officials and lawmakers in the Russian authorities and the Parliament to revive a thorough investigation and provide more information about the murder that threatens not only the freedom to express one’s views in Russia as well as its democratic foundations built by the principle of rule of law. There is no excuse for the inadequate investigations into the murders of political-minded journalists who write against corruption and criminality within the government. This includes those who were murdered, such as Georgy Gongadze, a journalist from Ukraine in 2000, and Paul Klebnikov in Moscow in 2004.

Politkovskaya was employed by Izvestia between 1982 and 1993 as an editor and reporter of the section for accidents and emergencies. From 1994 to 1999 she served as an assistant editor for Obshchaya Gazeta, headed by Yegor Yakovlev. There, she frequently wrote about social issues and the situation of refugees. From June 1999 through 2006 she wrote columns for two-weekly Novaya Gazeta, a newspaper that was a strong investigative publication and had a strong stance against the current post-Soviet system from the beginning. She wrote several award-winning books on Chechnya as well as the life of Russia and Russia during the reign of Vladimir Putin, including Putin’s Russia.

Her post-1999 articles about conditions in Chechnya were turned into books several times; Russian readers’ main access to her investigations and publications was through Novaya Gazeta, a Russian newspaper known for its often-critical investigative coverage of Russian political and social affairs. From 2000 onwards, she received numerous international awards for her work. In 2004, she published Putin’s Russia, a personal account of Russia for a Western readership.

In 2001, Politkovskaya fled to Vienna, following e-mail threats that a police officer whom she had accused of atrocities against civilians in Chechnya was looking to take revenge. Corporal Sergei Lapin was arrested and charged in 2002, but the case against him was closed the following year. In 2005, Lapin was convicted and jailed for the torture and subsequent disappearance of a Chechen civilian detainee, the case exposed by Politkovskaya in her article “Disappearing People”. A former fellow officer of Lapin’s was among the suspects in Politkovskaya’s murder, on the theory that the motive might have been revenge for her part in Lapin’s conviction.
