27 February 2006 -- Prosecutors in Moscow have opened an investigation into the killing of television journalist Ilya Zimin.
Zimin, an investigative reporter who worked with the NTV network, was found dead on 26 February in his apartment in the north of Moscow.
Prosecutors said he died after being severely beaten by unknown assailants. They said his death was not connected to his reporting work.
Before moving to Moscow in 2000, Zimin headed NTV's Far East bureau. He also worked for the TV6 and TVS television channels.
He survived a previous attack last April, when he was violently beaten outside the entrance to his apartment building.
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists has listed Russia among the world's 10 most-hazardous countries for reporters.

Yeah, "welcome to FR" says someone, who joined it half a year after you :-)))
Yes, you're welcome, as I can't recall any.
Oh come on every time there's a choice between someone Soros supports and someone local conservatives support you cheer for Soros.
Lizol's response to this was laughter (Lizol supports candidates who chair Soros organizations in East Europe):
One of OSI's initiatives (form Soros.org):
Women's Reproductive Rights and Health
Focus Areas
The Network Women's Program (NWP) and OSI's Public Health Program have made a joint commitment to support the institutional development of ASTRA, the Central and Eastern European Network for Reproductive Rights and Health.
One of ASTRA’s main strategic challenges is related to the European Union (EU); the organization currently has chapters in some countries that will soon be EU members, thus providing it with new opportunities to influence the EU on reproductive rights issues. This development has global implications because the EU provides the only significant political counterbalance to the regressive policies of the Bush administration in the United States, which seeks to roll back both the Cairo and Beijing agendas.
ASTRA's main role is to be a regional voice on sexual and reproductive rights and health issues at the international, regional, and national levels. It reaches out to and develops collaboration with key institutions (including the EU, the United Nations, Council of Europe, and the World Health Organization) as well as with supportive and skilled groups and individuals, including youth. The goal is for sexual and reproductive rights and health standards to be better known, promoted, and implemented in the region and for the region’s advocates to contribute to global policy and advocacy agendas.
To learn more about ASTRA and its initiatives, please visit its website:

NWP Grant Information
The Network Women's Program is primarily an operational program, working directly with and providing technical assistance to entities inside the Soros foundations network and institutional partners in Central and Eastern Europe, South Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Mongolia, South Africa, Haiti, and Guatemala on gender issues. NWP is generally unable to provide grants or scholarships since the majority of NWP funding is program-based. However, applicants wishing to submit country-specific project proposals or to learn more about NWP activities in individual countries should contact the appropriate program coordinator.
Additional leads for funding may be found by contacting grant-giving organizations identified by NWP.
From the main page on Russia Ukraine and Belarus at Soros.org:
http://www.soros.org/initiatives/regions/initiatives/regions/russia/russia_overview
In Russia and Ukraine, OSI works closely with local Soros foundations and other NGOs to support initiatives on a wide range of issues, including:
treatment, advocacy, and harm reduction services to help slow the raging
HIV/AIDS and TB epidemics;
legal reform;
women’s rights, including reproductive rights;
independent media;
prison reform; and
governance reform, in particular corruption.
BS again.
As usual.
LOL.
LOL you can search through tons of comments, that doesn't change the fact that Lukasz admitted to supporting Soros. It was made in the context of Ukraine, where Soros is well known to have hand picked the candidate for power.
if you like i can post the little laughing guy icon from your response.
You repeatedly laugh whenever it is mentioned that Soros pays for abortions in east Europe.
To bad that I am not easily convinced and that I am not blindly following someone onto a cliff.;)
I make up my own mind on issues and subjects and I am not afraid to admit when I am wrong.
Oh you're blindly fowllowing someone who supports Soros in Ukraine and Georgia off a cliff.
"Consider the Ukrainian NGO International Centre for Policy Studies. It is an organization funded by the U.S. Government through PAUCI, but on its website you will find that the front page in the English section features a prominent orange ribbon, the symbol of Yushchenko’s party and movement. Reading further on, we discover that this NGO was founded by George Soros’s Open Society Institute. And further on we can see that Viktor Yushchenko himself sits on the advisory board!"
