Anna Politkovskaya, an expert on crimes committed by Russian authorities in Chechnya and a fierce critic of Vladimir Putin, was assassinated in the lobby of her Moscow apartment building on October 7, 2006.
Twenty years after this assassination, her French publisher, Jean-François Bouthors, gives her a voice again through a powerful novel in which the journalist’s spirit returns to haunt the Russian president.
