A plaque commemorating neo-Nazis has been restored near Anna Politkovskaya's home

In Moscow, activists have installed a new plaque on Anna Politkovskaya's home for the eleventh time, commemorating the destruction of a memorial plaque in her honor. The plaque reads: "Here in 2026, neo-Nazis destroyed a memorial plaque to Anna Politkovskaya."

The original text from the broken plaque dedicated to the journalist has now been transferred to the facade as a stencil. It reads: "Anna Politkovskaya lived in this house and was vilely murdered on October 7, 2006."

On January 18, a plaque commemorating Anna Politkovskaya was destroyed for the first time in a building on Lesnaya Street in Moscow. It was subsequently restored and subsequently destroyed repeatedly.

The memorial was located near the building on Lesnaya Street where Novaya Gazeta journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered on October 7, 2006. She is known for her criticism of the Russian authorities and her coverage of human rights violations in Chechnya. Despite the conviction of the perpetrators of the murder, those who ordered the crime have never been found.
