Six people are suspected of involvement in the case – former police officer Dmitry Pavlyuchenkov, Chechen-born Lom-Ali Gaitukayev, former police officer Sergei Kadzhikurbanov and the Makhmudov brothers, one of whom is alleged to have been the killer. None of them have been brought to justice.

Yes, she did an exceptional work. In 2004, she published her book ‘Putin’s Russia’, and a year ago the French newspaper ‘Le Monde’ published an extract for those interested.
