Anna Politkovskaja Lectures

On October 7, 2006, the Russian journalist Anna Politkowskaja was murdered in her home in Moscow. She was the democratic voice of her country, standing for a critical mind against the regime, writing against the dirty war in Chechnya and defending freedom of the press and human rights.

In December 2005 Anna Poltitkowskaja was our guest in Vienna together with the Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena and the Croatian writer Slavenka Drakulic to debate the dangerous role of reporters in war.

In her memory the Bruno Kreisky Forum regularly invites Russian intellectuals to debate on democracy and human rights issues.
