Abstract
- The article comments on the move by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to subjugate media press. It argues that some media outlets have been controlled by Putin's allies. The author states that the press have been dominated by oligarchs surrounding Putin, and thus little is known on how they accumulated their riches. He says that the documentary film "Letter to Ana" featuring the life of the late investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya will capture the attention of the public on the reality of censorship and corruption in the country.
