Elena Viktorovna Tregubova
Jelena Wiktorovna Tregubova ( Russian Елена Викторовна Трегубова , scientific transliteration Elena Viktorovna Tregubova , often also in English transcription Elena Tregubova ; born May 24, 1973 ) is a Russian journalist and author. She became known for her criticism of Vladimir Putin .
Life
Jelena Tregubowa began her professional career in the 1990s when, under Yeltsin , she was a correspondent for the Moscow daily Kommersant among those journalists whose work was not hindered. Since Putin's presidency began in 2000, their work has not been as widespread. This changed in 2003 with a publication in Russia in which she sharply criticized Putin's media policy (partly printed in German in The Mutants of the Kremlin ).
In February 2004, after the book was published, a bomb exploded across the street from her apartment door when she announced on the telephone to the taxi company that she was about to come down to the street. Tregubova suspects that the attack was on the account of the Russian secret service. The Moscow militia rated the incident as “serious hooliganism” or an attempt at “serious theft” and stated that there was no reason to assume a politically motivated attack. On April 23, 2007, Jelena Tregubowa applied for political asylum in Great Britain , which she was granted at the beginning of April 2008. She receives personal protection from Scotland Yard and belongs to the circle of the exiled oligarch Boris Abramowitsch Berezovsky .
On 6./7. In June 2007 the Süddeutsche Zeitung published an open letter from its pen to the G-8 heads of state at the G-8 summit in Heiligendamm.
effect
In the German-speaking world, Tregubowa's work is particularly well received in connection with the murder of her colleague Anna Politkowskaja in early October 2006. On October 12, 2006, the weekly newspaper Die Zeit published an open letter from Trebugova to the German Chancellor Angela Merkel on the murder of Politkovskaya.
