[Fwd: [SEELANGS] Wed. 12/6 Politkovskaya evening (NYC)]

[Max Pyziur]

I attended this event this past Wednesday.  The size of the audience was 
impressive (1000+?).  Musa Klebnikov (widow of Paul Klebnikov), Katrina 
vanden Heuvel, and David Remnick (of the New Yorker) participated.

Would anyone have any more info on Politkovskaya?  On wikipedia.org it 
shows that she was born Anna Mazepa in NYC in 1958 to Soviet Ukraine U.N. 
diplomats.

There is information on her studies (graduated in 1980 in Moscow) and then 
her more recent work but there are gaps elsewhere (married?, divorced?, 
what happened to her parents? etc).
