Russia's new approach to dealing with "extremists"

[Banquo's Ghost]

Oh yeah she DEFINITELY narrows the list down...

If any of you bothered to read her articles, you'd know that she wrote more than "Putin is a very very very bad man."* She also wrote about how Russia is all evil and that Chechens pretty much have every right to murder Russians. Granted that the war is not clean, but justifying atrocities such as Beslan is unacceptable. Also, her background did not help her much to begin with.

Nonsense. I have read her articles and books, and you are repeating official propaganda here.

To those with open minds: I would recommend Politskovskaya's work to anyone seeking an insight into Russia, most especially the atrocities being committed daily in Chechnya and the effect this has on returning Russian soldiers. For the undecided, most of her investigations have been supported by research conducted by the EU Court of Human Rights and Amnesty International.

Personally, I wish this situation would start to wind down already.

Of course you do. Justice is best done in modern Russia by ignoring murder and government activity, not by finding the truth.
