An RA reader in Paris has forwarded us this photograph of a street sign, taken today on Boulevard Lannes right near the Russian Embassy. In an apparent gesture of protest, someone has plastered on a poster which has renamed the street “Boulevard Anna Politkovskaia.” This guerilla dedication also reads “1959 – 2006 Russian Journalist.” Part of the poster has been ripped away, so there may have been more text.

They should really consider naming the street after her officially. It would be the least they could do in her memory.
