Her work in the Novaya Gazeta newspaper was sharply critical of Kremlin policies in Chechnya and of human rights violations there.</p> <p>Last year, a court convicted five men, most of them Chechens, of involvement in the murder. However, Russia's Investigative Committee has said it is still trying to determine who ordered the killing.</p> <div readability="32"> <p><span>Reporter Anna Politkovskaya.

Picture: AP</span> <span><em>Source:</em> AP</span></p> </div> <h2>ALEXANDER LITVINENKO</h2> <p>Former Russian intelligence officer Alexander Litvinenko, 44, became sick after drinking tea laced with radioactive polonium-210 at a London hotel in November 2006 and died three weeks later. Litvinenko had fallen out with the Russian government and became a strong critic of the Kremlin, obtaining political asylum after coming to Britain in 2000.</p> <p>Two weeks before he was poisoned, Litvinenko blamed Putin for the murder of Politkovskaya. Before he died, he signed a statement blaming Putin for his poisoning.</p> <p>British police have named two Russian men, former KGB agent Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun, as prime suspects. They deny involvement, and Russia refused to extradite them. An inquiry in Britain is now examining the circumstances of Litvinenko's death.</p> <h2>STANISLAV MARKELOV</h2> <p>Stanislav Markelov, a human rights lawyer, was shot after leaving a news conference less than a kilometre from the Kremlin in January 2009. Markelov, 34, was appealing the early release of Yuri Budanov, a Russian military officer convicted of killing a young Chechen woman. A journalist walking with Markelov, Anastasia Baburova, also died in the attack. A Russian nationalist extremist was sentenced to life in prison for the killings.</p> <div readability="36"> <p><span>People light candles in memory of Boris Nemtsov, seen behind, in central St. Petersburg, Russia.

One of Chechnya's best known rights activists, Estemirova headed the Memorial group's Chechen branch and exposed alleged abuses by the forces of Kremlin-backed Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov.</p> <p>Russian investigators said in 2010 that two brothers who were members of an Islamic militant group killed Estemirova, who had implicated them in kidnappings of Chechen civilians. Memorial said DNA evidence showed that the two men — one of whom was killed in 2009 and the other granted asylum in France — didn't commit the crime.</p> <h2>BORIS NEMTSOV</h2> <p>Boris Nemtsov, 55, who served as a deputy prime minister in the 1990s and became a prominent opposition figure under Putin, was gunned down in Moscow on Friday night. The killing came a few hours after he denounced Putin's "mad, aggressive" policies and the day before he was to help lead a rally protesting Russia's actions in the Ukraine crisis and the economic crisis at home.</p> <span>Originally published as</span> Putin critics just keep dying<br /> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14603504900829158378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128084059241192643.post-20903045882643833822015-03-02T23:45:00.001+07:002015-03-02T23:45:22.034+07:00Man gets gold and white dress tattoo<div readability="39.8783269962"> <div readability="8"> <p><span>White and gold? ...

"I didn't see a reason not to," he said</p> <p>"I pretty much got it because, I mean, I keep up with all the social memes and hysteria and whatever, and this is the only one that I really couldn't wrap my brain around. So I just decided to do it."</p> <p>The 24-year-old, who is a body piercer, sees the dress as blue and black but briefly saw gold and white after a couple of drinks.</p> <p>The man responsible for the artwork, Nick York, 19, says he was only able to see white and gold but etched the blue and black dress with the words "white and gold?" for his mate in ....</p> <p>blue and black ink.</p> <p>Both men agree the tattoo is stupid. "It's a joke", Mr York explains.</p> <p>Mr Howland admits it is a dumb tattoo, "that's why it's funny".</p> <p>In our opinion, a cute tattoo of a runaway llama would have been a better option if you were going to pick anything from this week's top stories.</p> <div readability="32"> <p><span>Llama ...

"I just hope we don't miss this opportunity for lack of ideas."</p> <p>The Europa mission has been in the works for years, but received a boost earlier this month when the White House allocated $US30 million in funding for the project.</p> <p>Under the $2.1 billion plan, NASA would search plumes of water vapour that are believed to blast from the moon's south polar region, possibly allowing scientists to sample the liquid beneath Europa's frozen surface.</p> <p>Mr Grunsfeld urged workshop attendees to "think outside the box" and come up with feasible ways to study the vapour, which could contain signs of life.</p> <p>However, it will be some time before any results are known.
