20 Years Since The Death Of Russian Journalist Anna Politkovskaya
Six men were convicted, but the order behind the killing remains unknown as Russian journalists mark her legacy under tighter state pressure.
- On Tuesday, journalist Sergei Sokolov and Nobel Prize-winner Dmitry Muratov gathered at the Novaya Gazeta office in Moscow to honor slain reporter Anna Politkovskaya ahead of the 20th anniversary of her 2006 assassination.

- She was gunned down on October 7, 2006, Putin's 54th birthday, after criticizing Ramzan Kadyrov, whom she called an "enemy of the Chechen people"; the mastermind behind her murder remains unidentified.

- Exiled reporter Yegor Feoktistov, 28, noted that Politkovskaya's fate reminds journalists of risks they face yet provides courage to continue; Sokolov believes if she were alive today, "she would definitely not be able to stay silent.
