Review:

"Suppression of freedom of speech, of expression, reaches its savage ultimate in the murder of a writer. Anna Politkovskaya refused to lie in her work; her murder is a ghastly act, and an attack on world literature."-Nadine Gordimer"Like all great investigative reporters, Anna Politkovskaya brought forward human truths that rewrote the official story. We will continue to read her, and learn from her, for years."-Salman Rushdie"It is a blow to the entire democratic, independent press. It is a grave crime against the country, against all of us."-Mikhail Gorbachev

Book Description:

A collection of writings on recent Russian politics, focusing on Vladimir Putin's government and the 2003 parliamentary elections, by one of the greatest and bravest journalists of our time.
