The amendment on the investigation of Anna Politkovska’s murder has been examined at the PACE session. «There were hot discussions – people’s deputy Olha Herasimyuk informed the Razom site. - Representatives of the Russian Federation have proposed to remove the recommendations for the State Duma to take under control the investigation of the journalist’s murder. Russians said that such amendment showed the lack of trust towards their state».

»I was the only one to protest against the amendment’s removal. The majority voted for the Russians’ proposal though some MPs supported me – Ms Herasimyuk said. – I said that we were too delicate when we took such arguments into consideration. As we know, the investigation of similar murders of journalists usually does not have a desirable effect. It means that the law enforcing bodies of this state are not unbiased».
