Original: Anna Politkovskaya: The journalist killed 20 years ago for understanding Putin before anyone else
Anna Politkovskaya, the Russian investigative journalist, was shot dead in the stairwell of her Moscow apartment building in October 2006. Twenty years on, she is being remembered as one of the few voices who grasped early the true nature of Vladimir Putin's rule. Her reporting from Chechnya, marked by unusual clarity and courage, is now seen as having foreshadowed the full-scale war in Ukraine.
Why now: The 20th anniversary of her 2006 assassination has prompted renewed tributes and reflection on her warnings.
