The plaque on Anna Politkovskaya's house was torn down for the fourth time.

SOTAvision reports that the sign has been torn down again. It was put up only the day before. "You can keep putting it up as long as you hit it," said one concerned activist.

On the evening of January 18, unknown individuals smashed a memorial plaque on the building on Lesnaya Street in Moscow where Anna Politkovskaya lived, worked, and was murdered. Afterward, activists repeatedly installed temporary plaques on the building, but these, too, were torn down.

The neo-Nazi group NS/WP previously claimed responsibility for the vandalism. And the day before, a Moscow resident confessed to destroying two temporary signs.

Meanwhile, Muscovite Alexander Filippov has already been fined 1,000 rubles for "petty hooliganism." "He didn't touch the sign, he didn't intentionally tear it down; it fell and broke on its own," the court ruling stated, according to Verstka.
