From article about the assassination of Russian
Journalist, Anna Politkovskaya:
"Death and Life: She Was the Only Hope for Many
People"
Female Journalism Is Likely to Rehabilitate Our
Profession
By Nadezhda Azhgikhina - Russia
"No matter what people say, there is a separate
sector of the media, the women's reporting, which continues to rehabilitate our
profession, reminding us of principles of civil service, of conscience,
responsibility and sympathy for those who are poor and weak. Generally, editors
get tired of this kind of reporting, which goes beyond the limits of genres and
editorial policies, and ignores the principles of political expediency. These
women reporters show to an average reader, some non-traditional priorities, like
a baby's tear or a personal responsibility of each of us for the developments in
our country. These women cover war in their own way, noticing people's faces and
the details that remain invisible to the marjority of war reporters: ill
children, lost and forgotten old people, captured soldiers, broken-hearted
parents of peaceful victims."

Article: Appeal - Armenia, Jermuk, October 11-14,
2006
"We, the participants of the Women for Peace and
Integration International Conference, appeal to the society of Russia, and first
of all, to Russian women, with our deep anxiety regarding the wave of xenophobia
against national minorities, immigrants, foreign students, ethnic Caucasus
nationals. As for the latter, persecution of Georgian nationals, that has become
permanent and well-organized, is very dangerous.
Russia has always been a multi-national country
with deep traditions of peaceful co-existence and mutual understanding between
different cultures. We express our hope and assuredness that modern democratic
Russia will keep these traditions as its most valuable heritage."
