Like I said, I don't know her politics, but she's likely a leftie. They seem to gravitate more towards filmmaking.
BTW, that award she won was for journalistic bravery. It was named after another journalist who was shot to death in Moscow covering a story. She apparently has a brass set of balls on her when she wants to make a film. Unfortunately for her, that's why she's nowhere to be found right now.
Still no clue about her politics, but interesting information about her "fixer".
