The temporary plaque on Politkovskaya's house has been torn down for the eleventh time.

The eleventh temporary plaque in memory of Anna Politkovskaya, installed last night on her home, has disappeared. A stenciled inscription, duplicating the text of the original memorial plaque, remains on the wall of the building where the journalist lived and was murdered.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on February 6, a wooden memorial plaque, which had hung for over a week on the railing of the building on Lesnaya Street in Moscow where Novaya Gazeta columnist Anna Politkovskaya lived and was murdered, was destroyed again. On the night of February 7, the plaque's text was restored to the building's façade for the ninth time, this time painted on the wall rather than on a plaque. Activists also attached a plaque to the railing of the building that read: "Here in 2026, neo-Nazis destroyed the memorial plaque to Anna Politkovskaya." This plaque was torn down on the evening of February 9th. This afternoon, unknown individuals destroyed the tenth temporary plaque on Politkovskaya's building.

The memorial plaque on the building where journalist Anna Politkovskaya lived and was murdered has been destroyed for the 12th time – once a memorial plaque that had been up for almost 20 years was destroyed, and 11 times temporary plaques that activists had restored near the entrance to the building where the journalist lived were destroyed, RusNews reports.

The plaque installed for the 11th time and which disappeared today contained information about the previous ones being removed by "neo-Nazis." Now, only a stenciled inscription duplicating the text of the original plaque remains on the wall of the building.

On January 18, a memorial plaque bearing the name of Anna Politkovskaya was destroyed for the first time in a building on Lesnaya Street. Civil Initiative activists installed a temporary plaque to replace the one destroyed, but it, too, was destroyed on January 19. Representatives of a far-right organization designated as terrorist claimed responsibility for the destruction of the first plaque. The man who smashed the memorial plaque was fined 1,000 rubles, although he denied any wrongdoing, claiming that the plaque "fell and broke on its own."

Anna Politkovskaya's Last Interview Anna Politkovskaya gave to a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent an hour and a half before her death. In this interview, the journalist commented on Ramzan Kadyrov's career prospects.

In 2025, on the 19th anniversary of Anna Politkovskaya's murder, residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg brought flowers to her grave, the Novaya Gazeta office, and the memorial to the victims of repression. Some of those convicted in the case of her murder have already been released, but the person who ordered it has not yet been convicted, Politkovskaya's colleagues recalled.

On the fifth anniversary of Politkovskaya's murder, journalists and human rights activists at a rally in Tbilisi highlighted her contribution to the fight for freedom of speech, demanding that those who ordered her murder be identified.
