The final, unfinished article by murdered Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya has just been published by  "Novaya Gazeta" has
published an unfinished article that she
was working on when she was killed.

The article describes the alleged torture of two unidentified men at the hands of Kremlin-backed Chechen security forces. It is accompanied by graphic video stills shot during the torture session. One photograph shows a man lying prone on the ground in a pool of blood.
 
Politkovskaya, who wrote frequently about human rights abuses in Chechnya, told RFE/RL's Russian Service two days before her death that she was working on an article about two men tortured to death by forces loyal to Chechnya's pro-Moscow Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov.
