December 15 is the Remembrance Day of Journalists Killed on the Line of Duty in the Russian Federation.
Wikipedia tracks the dire situation of press and media freedom in Russia in several way. It includes a general article on the Media of Russia as well as a more specific one on Freedom of the Press in Russia, with a section on cases of assaults on journalists. The List of journalists killed in Russia includes the names of over 200 media professionals killed over the last 25 years in the Russian Federation.
Among them, the Wikipedian in Residence at Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso has already provided for translations into Italian of the pages about Natalya Estemirova, Larisa Yudina, Andrey Stenin, Sergei Dubov, Kazbek Gekkiyev, Akhmednabi Akhmednabiyev, Oleg Slabynko, Stanislav Markelov, and Gadzhi Abashilov. The page on Akhmednabi Akhmednabiyev was also translated into Russian.
