“Russia has joined the world community of those who remember Politkovskaya.” A memorial plaque named after the Novaya columnist was inaugurated on October 7 in Potapovsky Lane in Moscow
On October 7, a memorial plaque to Anna Politkovskaya was unveiled on the building of the editorial office of Novaya Gazeta in Potapovsky Lane. Even before the opening ceremony, while her colleagues, friends, family and readers and her fans were gathering, the sad classical music that Anna loved to listen to in her car began to sound. This music played on October 7, 2006, a few hours before her murder. By one o'clock, about 200 people had gathered at the editorial office.
