Boulevard in Paris Unofficially Dedicated to Anna Politkovskaya

An RA reader in Paris has forwarded us this photograph of a street sign, taken today on Boulevard Lannes right near the Russian Embassy. In an apparent gesture of protest, someone has plastered on a poster which has renamed the street "Boulevard Anna Politkovskaia." This guerilla dedication also reads "1959 - 2006 Russian Journalist." Part of the poster has been ripped away, so there may have been more text.

Terrence:

They should really consider naming the street after her officially. It would be the least they could do in her memory.
