One reason for the lack of reaction could well be that it hasn't circulated in English. Another could be fear (after all, people who write such things have a nasty habit of getting killed in particularly grusome ways). You're quite right in saying this kind of thing got Politkovskaya killed, and it's clear that there are other people at NG who are marked. But, perhaps because of Anna's memory, they bravely soldier on.La Russophobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672264388217953086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25230932.post-69344475363720496702007-01-13T19:44:00.000-05:002007-01-13T19:44:00.000-05:00I believe Korolkov.

Is that the reason no one is reacting to it? Here's a paradox -- although it's stunning, oddly enough, this news isn't surprising in the least. <br /><br />We've heard this rumored by Anna Politkovskaya, Alexander Litvinenko and Mikhail Trepashkin. Maybe it's not too late to save Trepashkin.<br /><br />LaR, I'm with you -- I want to read the entire story.<br /><br />David McDuff's away a few days from his "A Step At A Time" blog, but he is one of the best -- if not truly the best -- Russian to English translators in the world. I hope that he considers translating this Igor Korolkov “Novaya Gazeta” story as soon as he gets back to his blog. <br /><br />It crosses my mind that this document about FSB death squads is exactly what got Politkovskaya killed, though I really have nothing substantial to base that on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
