Anya’s phone number (495) 798-10-34



This number got dead at 16:01 on 7 October 2006. Today it’s connected again.

This is the phone number of Anna Politkovskaya.

When she was alive, this telephone number was never silent. Hundreds of people shared information with her. She got threats through this number. It was the last hope for some people. Anya was asked for help by victims of arbitrary treatment in the army, by victims of corruption and violence. She heard the words of admiration as well as insults on this phone. Presidents, ambassadors and ordinary people used this number. And ordinary people were given much more attention and time.

We have connected this number again.

It will be working till 7 October inclusive (from 12:00 till 18:00 of Moscow time) which is the date of her death.

Call everyone who has already called and who was going to, but didn’t have time. Speak about yourself, give opinion about the country and of course, please, speak about Anna.

“Anya’s number” is the special number of the Novaya which is planned to be issued 8 October.

The Markelov-Baburova murders: First arrests are made

On Tuesday and Wednesday, 3 and 4 November, the first suspects in the Markelov-Baburova murder case were arrested. The operation was shrouded in secrecy. Investigators had been hard at work, both among nationalist groups and the public as a whole, before the arrests were made.

“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.
