“The State is showing a complete lack of interest in solving the murder of our mother”, Vera and Ilya Politkovsky

The investigation has continued for three years. Now it has finally been transformed into a farce, in an attempt to distract public attention from the main question: “Who ordered this killing?” Such an approach demands that someone must be convicted (or acquitted?) at any cost. It shows one thing and one thing only: the State is demonstrating a complete lack of interest in solving the murder of our mother. The case has been put at the mercy of political and departmental intrigues and this means, in essence, that the true killers are being protected.

Moscow says farewell to Stanislav Markelov

At his family’s request, there were no speeches at Stanislav’s funeral on Friday, 23 January. The Ostankino graveyard was filled with a taciturn crowd. Tears and whispers ... The kiosk sold out of flowers. Those who had come to say a last goodbye had difficulty reaching the coffin: it was surrounded by a tightly-packed ring of TV cameramen and photographers.
