About
World-renowned journalist and human rights activist Anna Politkovskaya went from being a local print journalist to braving the Chechen killing fields and exposing Russian state corruption under Vladimir Putin. She refused to give up reporting on the war in Chechnya despite numerous acts of intimidation and violence, including being poisoned. She was ultimately murdered in the elevator of her block of flats and it remains unclear who paid for the contract killing.
Anna Politkovskaya trades a quiet life in print for the terrifying front lines of the Chechen killing fields. She risks everything to document state corruption, refusing to let the silence of violence go unrecorded.
