Flowers for Anna

Lesson Brief BBC Russian
October 7th marks the eighth anniversary of the murder of Russian human rights activist and journalist Anna Politkovskaya. To commemorate her death vigils were held in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, and other cities across the region. Politkovskaya was killed in the entrance to her apartment block in 2006 because of, what many think, her coverage of the conflict and war crimes happening in Chechnya.
