Activists have restored the plaque on Politkovskaya's house more than 20 times.

The 21st temporary plaque has been placed by activists on the building where Novaya Gazeta journalist Anna Politkovskaya lived and was murdered.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on January 18, a memorial plaque, which had hung for almost 20 years on the wall of the building on Lesnaya Street in Moscow where Novaya Gazeta columnist Anna Politkovskaya lived and was shot, was destroyed for the first time. Civil Initiative activists replaced the destroyed plaque with a temporary one, but it was also destroyed on January 19. Most of the temporary plaques installed after that lasted less than a day. On the evening of February 21, activists installed a temporary plaque for the 20th time on the house of murdered Novaya Gazeta journalist Anna Politkovskaya. On February 22, it disappeared.

Activists have installed a memorial plaque in honor of Anna Politkovskaya for the twenty-first time.

The plaque has already been restored more than two dozen times after being destroyed by an unknown person. Activists plan to continue hanging the plaque until it permanently remains on the house where Anna Politkovskaya died, SOTAvision* reports.

The plaque repeats the text from the original memorial plaque.

The stenciled inscription on the wall, duplicating the text on the original marble plaque: "Anna Politkovskaya lived in this house and was vilely murdered on October 7, 2006," remains intact, Rusnews reports.

Any civic expression, whether a plaque commemorating Anna Politkovskaya or a "Last Address" sign for a victim of Stalin's repressions, provokes active aggression among supporters of the government in Russia. Impunity encourages spontaneous acts of vandalism, committed even without direct orders from above, human rights activists interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" indicated.

Anna Politkovskaya's Last Interview An hour and a half before her death, Anna Politkovskaya gave to a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. In this interview, the journalist commented on Ramzan Kadyrov's career prospects.

In 2025, on the 19th anniversary of Anna Politkovskaya's murder, residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg brought flowers to her grave, the Novaya Gazeta office, and the memorial to the victims of repression. Some of those convicted in the case of her murder have already been released, but the person who ordered it has not yet been convicted, Politkovskaya's colleagues recalled.

On the fifth anniversary of Politkovskaya's murder, journalists and human rights activists at a rally in Tbilisi highlighted her contribution to the fight for freedom of speech, demanding that those who ordered her murder be identified.
