A Russian DiaryBy Anna Politkovskaya
DK 510.763 .P65313 2007
This first hand account of Anna Politkovskaya’s experiences in Putin’s Russia depicts horrors that many families had to go through. From 2003 to 2005, she lived fearlessly, gathering as much information as she could, no matter what the risk. She describes how Putin “neutralizes or jails his opponents, muzzles the press, shamelessly lies to the public-and then secures a sham landslide that plunges the populace into mass depression.” Politkovskaya’s efforts to expose Putin’s actions ultimately ended in her death, when she was shot to death in Moscow in 2006.
