	Anna Politkovskaya: death of a professional \| openDemocracy
		Politkovskaya had been told before that she should have her own bodyguards, but had declared it to be unbecoming of a journalist to do so.
		That Politkovskaya was able to write her trademark articles at all was mainly due to the relative insignificance of print media as compared to television in Russia.
		Politkovskaya's death was the first item on the First Channel's news bulletins on Saturday evening, which was probably the first time that most of its viewers had heard of her.

		Anna Politkovskaya has travelled and worked for several years as a correspondent in Chechnya, and her articles have created so much unrest in the Russian ranks that her editor-in-chief at the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta recommended to her to leave Russia for a time, because her life was in danger.

	Vladimir the Terrible - Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
		Politkovskaya devotes considerable space to showing how Putin's government does little to provide the most basic of state services: a professional army capable of defending the country.
		In the tradition of the great Soviet dissidents, Politkovskaya is unwavering in telling the gruesome truth about the injustices that she has witnessed.
		For instance, Nina Levurda, a Russian mother whose son died in Chechnya, is trying to sue the state -- not in response to the tragic loss of her son but because of the inhumane manner in which the state reported (or did not report) his death to her.

	Anna Politkovskaya: Putin, poison and my struggle for freedom / Culture / Russian London
		Politkovskaya does what few other Russian commentators dare and steps over an invisible line, mocking Mr Putin in an intensely personal way; comparing him to Soviet leader Josef Stalin, to a pathetic literary creation of Nikolay Gogol's and to a bland, over-promoted spy who should never have been elevated to the dizzy Kremlin heights.
