Current Affairs RFE President - Putin culpable for "climate of fear" behind Politkovskaya murder
Her murder one year ago sent shockwaves through Russia and around the world, but attempts to shed light on the case have largely come to nothing. When the campaigning journalist Anna Politkovskaya was found shot dead in the elevator of her Moscow apartment on October 7th, 2006, many linked her death to her work exposing human rights violations in Chechnya and her harsh criticism of the Kremlin. On Thursday the U.S. broadcaster Radio Free Europe held a special conference on Russia one year after her death, attended by many former friends and colleagues. Radio Prague spoke to Radio Free Europe President Jeffrey Gedmin, and began by asking him whether he believed her killer - or killers - would ever be brought to justice.
