Russia reopens cases into 19 journalist deaths Lidia Okorokova | | Oct. 7, 2010 | JRL 2010-188-15
The Investigative Committee of the Prosecutor General's Office has agreed to re-investigate 19 journalists' murders, in a move that has sparked hopes that President Dmitry Medvedev's campaign to reform the law enforcement system is making a difference.
While journalists were happy about the change in tone, some analysts expressed doubt that the decision together with Medvedev's recent drive to create an FBI-style unified investigative committee and his replacement of a top official in the Interior Ministry would bring about real change.
