Reuters and Russian news agencies are reporting that Novaya Gazeta reporter Anna Politkovskaya was found shot dead outside her apartment block in Moscow.

Politkovskaya is well known in the West and Russia for her Chechen war reporting and is the author of The Dirty War and Putin's Russia. She had reported previous threats and attempts on her life by agents of the FSB. In 2004, she had taken ill on a flight to Beslan in a suspected poisoning.

I uploaded a photo of Putin for use in this article. One of the nice
things of NowPublic is being able to links articles and photos
together, especially those on the same subject. I'm sorry, did you
actually take the photo of Putin? Maybe I should have asked that
first???

The particular photo you are questioning has a "creative commons" license.

You can find out what this means by visiting here:

When
I upload pictures, because I didn't take them myself, and in actuality
probably shouldn't be posting them at all, I use the:

Creative Commons: Attribution-NonCommercial-NonDerivs

because I didn't take the photos.

The meaning of Creative Commons: Attribution-NonCommercial-NonDerivs is below:

This license is the most restrictive of our six main licenses, allowing
redistribution. This license is often called the "free advertising"
license because it allows others to download your works and share them
with others as long as they mention you and (Your name is mentioned and it links back to you) link back to you, but they
can't change them in any way or use them commercially.

Hope this helps.

The murder of Anna Politkovskaja
was not of interests of Putin regimen. Please stop this nonsense reporting and please take off my footage from this story. You didn't get the permission to use the footage.
