That's already 4 years have passed since the murder but for some reason we, the Russian young people, present and future journalists continue to remain silent and not take a particularly active actions in Russia in defense of our colleagues and in defense of their memory after all these numerous murders of journalists. Russian society is silent, the journalistic community, too.
At the same time in Italy, a TV-journalist Andrea Riscassi (Milan correspondent of RAI, one of the founders of the Association named after Anna Politkovskaya “Annaviva”) has ensured that in Milan’s garden of judges was planted a personal tree of the Russian journalist - along with the trees in honor of two Sicilian magistrates (crime wrestlers), Paolo Borsellino and Giovanni Falcone, killed by mafia in the early 90's.
Anna is more known throughout Europe for its reporting (and was known during her lifetime) than in Russia. Although she wrote for the Russian edition. What is the reason of our indifference, ignorance to the memory of the journalist and the fact that an ordinary Russian can not even remember who exactly was Anna Politkovskaya? At the same time, in Europe about her publications, her fate know just ordinary people, hotel owners and so on. Anna's death shocked the world. Of course, unfortunately, we all know that this death is not the first assassination of a journalist in Russia, but this case - one of the most egregious in the recent history of our country and the history of Russian journalism.
International League of young journalists offers to bring this issue to public debate. It will be held in Moscow, but the discussion is open to young journalists from other countries. The discussion will be in a form of barcamp, conference, where everyone can participate with its own opinion - no matter what it is - in a form of short messages (5 minutes).
Journalists from the regions may participate in online mode, sending their messages through the Internet (the group on Facebook and in V Kontakte). About the intention to participate, please, write to journaliga@gmail.com . To come prepared to discuss, we ask you (optionally) write a short essay, in which to reflect on the theme “What I know about Anna? Why do I want / do not want to be such a journalist as Anna Politkovskaya”. We welcome the diversity of points of view: for us it is important to understand the true attitude of the young journalists to the problem and to the situation in general. Essays should be sent to e-mail journaliga@gmail.com until 18.00 27 May 2010. We are interested in essays from all over the world (the languages possible – English, Italian and Russian).
