“Stanislav Markelov, one of Russia’s most well-known human rights lawyers, was gunned down by an unknown assassin in downtown Moscow. This is the latest in a series of attacks on the country’s human rights and social activists. Markelov was murdered along with Anastasia Baburova, a young journalist and anarchist activist who was accompanying Markelov after a press conference at which Markelov discussed his plans for opposing and investigating the early parole of Colonel Yuri Budanov, who was convicted in 2003 of the murder of a young Chechen woman, Elza Kungayeva, and sentenced to ten years in prison.
Although, given the recent events surrounding the parole of the war criminal Budanov, the foreign and Russian press will inevitably focus on this connection, Markelov was a hero of the Russian social movements for his work on behalf of anti-fascists, migrant workers, union activists, and others. His murder clearly has to be seen in the context of the recent string of attacks on activists in these movements, which has received little coverage in the west and little more in Russia itself”.
