[Michael Givel]

Which does raise the obvious question who is and is not among Russian 
journalists vigorously condemning this assassination?  Also said conversely, 
who among Russian journalists is not vigorously condemninig this 
assassination and attack on press freedom and what are we to deduce from a 
lack of silence on this point?

>...The former Soviet president Mikhail S. Gorbachev, a shareholder of
the newspaper where Ms. Politkovskaya worked, called her killing "a
savage crime."

"It is a blow to the entire democratic, independent press," he told the
Interfax news agency. "It is a grave crime against the country, against
all of us."
