"Suppression of freedom of speech, of expression, reaches its savage ultimate in the murder of a writerAnna Politkovskaya refused to lie, in her work; her murder is a ghastly act, and an attack on world literature" * Nadine Gordimer *
"Like all great investigative reporters, Anna Politkovskaya brought forward human truths that rewrote the official story. We will continue to read her, and learn from her, for years." * Salman Rushdie *
"It is a blow to the entire democratic, independent press. It is a grave crime against the country, against all of us." * Mikhail Gorbachev *
"Beyond mourning her, it would be more seemly to remember her by taking note of what she wrote." * James Meek *
