Book description
A Russian Diary
is the book that Anna Politkovskaya had recently completed when she was
murdered in a contract killing in Moscow. Covering the period from the
Russian parliamentary elections of December 2003 to the tragic aftermath
of the Beslan school siege in late 2005, A Russian Diary
is an unflinching record of the plight of millions of Russians and a
pitiless report on the cynicism and corruption of Vladimir Putin's
Presidency.
Known to many as 'Russia's lost moral conscience', Anna
Politkovskaya was a special correspondent for the Russian newspaper
Novaya gazeta and the recipient of many honours for her
writing.
She is the author of A Dirty War, Putin's Russia and A
Russian Diary, to be published in April 2007. Anna Politkovskaya
was murdered in Moscow in October 2006.
