Novaya Gazeta is a Russian newspaper. A semi-weekly covering political and social issues. The general circulation is now near 550,000 copies. Novaya Gazeta is known for being critical of Russian government policy. The paper has specialised in investigative reporting, especially on government corruption, and has been highly critical of the KremlinÍs policies in Chechnya, but has lost several libel suits. Anna Politkovskaya wrote for Novaya Gazeta until her assassination on October 7, 2006. The journalist told in an essay that the editors received "visitors every day in our editorial office who have nowhere else to bring their troubles, because the Kremlin finds their stories off-message, so that the only place they can be aired is in our newspaper, Novaya Gazeta."Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and State Duma Deputy Alexander Lebedev own 49% of the newspaper and the paper's staff controls the remaining 51% of shares. *** Local Caption *** Just out the Novaya Gazeta still some flowers to remember Anna Politkovskaja.
