She attended School No. 3, which is steeped in tradition, and a youth sports school in Sevastopol. She played guitar, was a successful chess player and martial artist and had a wide range of interests, including languages, economics and poetry. In addition to her native Russian and Ukrainian, she was fluent in English and French.

After graduating from school with excellent marks, she began training in 2000 at the management faculty of the “Black Sea Branch” of Lomonosov University in Sevastopol. Together with her mother, she became a Russian citizen in 2000 and moved to Moscow in 2001, where, after passing her entrance exam, she began training in international law at the Moscow State Institute for International Relations . In 2003 she married a journalism student whom she had met in 2000 while studying in Sevastopol. In 2004 she moved to Lomonosov University, where she was enrolled in the five-year evening course at the journalism faculty. In addition to her studies, she worked as a freelance journalist, first for Vechernyaya Moskva , then for Rossiskaya Gazeta and Izvestia . Their marriage ended in divorce in the summer of 2007.

From October 2008 she was doing research mainly as a freelance correspondent for the government-critical newspaper Novaya Gazeta about Russian neo-Nazi groups and their backers. Politically she was engaged in human rights and anti-fascist work and belonged to the anarchist organization Avtonomnoje Deistwije .

attack

On January 19, 2009, Anastasija Baburova was shot dead on the street in Moscow together with the human rights lawyer Stanislaw Markelow . While Markelow died instantly, she was seriously injured by a shot in the head and died a few hours later in a hospital.

The attack took place on a busy street in the center of the Russian capital. According to media reports, the killer was targeting Markelov, whom the young journalist wanted to interview about the Yuri Budanov case . The newspaper Novaya Gazeta wrote in an obituary that the two murdered had been friends for years because they had the same view of the situation. Baburova is the fourth Novaya Gazeta employee to have died violently since 2000. The most famous member of the editorial board was Anna Politkovskaya , who was murdered in 2006.

In Moscow, after the attack, 300 mostly young anarchists took to the streets and protested with shouts such as: "Fascists murder - the state covers them". On January 22nd, the Russian Foreign and Interior Ministry protested in an initial statement against "unjustifiably politicizing" the double murder. At least Ms. Baburova died by accident.

In late April 2011, a politically right-wing extremist couple arrested in early November 2009 was found guilty of murder by a jury. The main defendant was sentenced to life imprisonment, his co-accused partner to 18 years imprisonment.

International reactions

In Austria, the assassination attempt has been linked to the murder of the Chechen Umar Israilov in Vienna.

The German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier asked the Russian authorities to investigate the double murder as quickly as possible. Steinmeier condemned the “cowardly act” in the name of the federal government “in the strongest possible way”. The EU also pushed for clarification. José Manuel Barroso said on January 21st that the European Commission was "shocked".

During a visit to Berlin, the editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta , Dmitri Muratov, criticized the Russian government for keeping silent. The organization “ Reporters Without Borders ” spoke of a “climate of impunity” in Russia with a view to the numerous unsolved murders of journalists and human rights activists.
