A prominent Russian journalist well known for her critical coverage of the war in Chechnya has been killed in Moscow.
Anna Politkovskaya's body was found in a lift at the building in Moscow where she had an apartment, according to police.
The office of the Moscow Prosecutor said a criminal investigation into 'premediated murder' was under way.

If i had to take a guess, i would say the government was involved in some way. Russia is on a slippery slope right now. It is sliding away from "democracy".

We should grab a blindfold and wear it quick, cause I think more of this will happen.

Yep, I agree. It's quite clear that Russia isn't a democracy, but rather a dictatorship of sorts. There's even the idea floating around, about which I've heard but to which I cannot state my agreement, that a Putin Russia is more dangerous than the Soviet Union.
