A memorial plaque to Anna Politkovskaya has been installed in Moscow for the 29th time
The 28th temporary plaque installed on the building where Anna Politkovskaya lived and was murdered was destroyed by unknown persons. Activists have placed a new plaque in its place—the 29th.
The temporary plaque was attached to the fence at the entrance to the building. It repeats the text of the original plaque: "Anna Politkovskaya lived in this building and was vilely murdered on October 7, 2006."
As a reminder, the original plaque, which hung on the wall of a building on Lesnaya Street for almost 20 years, was smashed on January 18. Subsequent temporary plaques installed by activists were usually destroyed within less than 24 hours.
Anna Politkovskaya, known for her investigations into the war and human rights violations in Chechnya, was murdered in Moscow on October 7, 2006. Those who ordered the murder have not been punished.
