7．Saturday，October 7th，was a marathon of sad tasks for Anna Politkovskaya．Two weeks earlier，her father，a retired official in the department of foreign affairs，had died of a heart attack as he emerged from the Moscow Metro while on his way to visit Politkovskaya's mother，Raisa Mazepa，in the hospital．She had just been diagnosed（诊断） with cancer and was too weak even to attend her husband's funeral．"Your father will forgive me，because he knows that I have always loved him，"she told Anna and her sister，Elena Kudimova，the day he was buried．A week later，she had an operation and since then Anna and Elena had been taking turns helping her deal with her grief．

In the past seven years，Politkovskaya had written dozens of accounts of life during wartime； many had been collected in her book"A Small Corner of Hell：reports from Chechnya．"Politkovskaya was far more likely to spend time in a hospital than on a battlefield，and her writing bore frequent witness to robbery，and the uncontrolled cruelty of life in a place that few other Russians-and almost no other reporters-cared to think about．
