Heroes of our time: Anna Politkovskaja Painting

Anna Politkovskaja was a Russian journalist. In her early years as a reporter she worked for a newspaper where she wrote frequently about social problems, she wrote columns for a newspaper that was critical about the post Sovjet regime and published several award-winning books about the life in Russia under Vladimir Putin. Her work became more dangerous when she started to report about the war in Chechnya, a dirty war as she called it, a conflict between Russian military forces and Chechnyan fighters, creating hell for the civilians caught between them. As Anna reported, the new regime of Ramzam Kadyrov, became a regime of endemic torture, abduction and murder. Anna herself was being detained by military officials in Chechnya where she was tortured. After leaving the camp, she stayed critical on Putins regime, had several dead threats, was poisoned, and in 2006, shot to dead in front of her apartment.
