Today marks 15 years since Anna Politkovskaya’s murder, meaning the statute of limitations expires. Her killer is still at large. She wrote about human rights violation in Russia, specifically, in Chechnya, during the Chechen Wars.

Today is also Putin’s birthday. More than 150 Russian journalists have been murdered since he took office.

Anna Politkovskaya was perhaps the most high-profile journalist in Novaya Gazeta’s history, well-known not only in Russia, but worldwide. Some others killed in the line of duty include Anastasia Baburova, who worked on Russian neo-Nazis, Igor Domnikov, and Victor Popkov, who also worked on Chechnya. All in all, 5 journalists working for Novaya were murdered.

Elena Kostyuchenko reported for Novaya from the front lines in Kiev, Odessa, and Mikolaiv over the last month. Her complete, uncensored work is available in translation on n+1.
