Description: This is my portrait of Anna Politkovskaya, the award-winning Russian journalist, fearless human rights activist and vehement critic of Vladimir Putin. Anna was murdered on October 6th, 2006 by elements loyal to the Putin regime. Thus far little effort has been made to bring her killers to justice. Since Vladimir Putin became president in 2000 there have been dozens of journalists and human rights activists have been murdered in the Russian Federation. Not one of these killings has been solved. Medium: serigraphy on canvas. Year Created: 2009
