Culture‘Anya was waiting for a bullet in the back’: Anna Politkovskaya’s friend’s daughter remembers her

On the 20th anniversary of Anna Politkovskaya’s murder, Meduza publishes excerpts from Lana Estemirova’s autobiography recalling the journalist’s friendship and work with Lana’s mother, human rights activist Natalya Estemirova. Estemirova helped Politkovskaya reach sources and places in Chechnya inaccessible to many Moscow journalists. Six people were convicted in connection with the killing, but colleagues believe the person who ordered it was never found.
