With the death of Klebnikov – the only American reporter to be murdered in Russia – the world has surely lost one of its foremost journalistic experts on the vast and murky crossroads of Russian organized crime, politics, law enforcement and big business.

In addition to his articles, Klebnikov authored two books: “Godfather of the Kremlin: Boris Berezovsky and the Looting of Russia,” and “Conversation with a Barbarian,” a series of his interviews with Chechen rebel leader and onetime Moscow gang boss Khozh-Akhmed Nukhayev, who was recently identified by the Kremlin as the mastermind of the Klebnikov murder.
