Anna Stepanovna Politkovskaya (Russian: Анна Степановна Политковская; 30 August 1958 — 7 October 2006) was a Russian journalist. She was well known for her opposition to the Chechen conflict and the Putin administration. She wrote articles for the publicatiuon Novaya GGazeta. She was known for her critical prosition on the war in Tchechnya. She was also in opposition to the current Russian president Vladimir Putin. On October 7, 2006, she was murdered at the entrance of the house where she used to live. Many people think this murder has a political background. Many western regimes have pressed for a thorough investigation of the circumstances of her death. They see it as another attempt to stifle opposition to the current Russian regime, as perhaps one of the last chances to save the freedom of the press in Russia. Noyava Gazeta, the jurnal where Anna Polikovaya worked has put up a reward for information that can explain why she was killed.
