HERE ARE SOME OF HIS OTHER FRIENDS

The Paul Klebnikov Fund
http://www.paulklebnikovfund.org/
The Paul Klebnikov Fund was created in his memory by his family, friends and colleagues. Paul believed that a healthy civil society is founded on principals of honesty, decency and respect for the law. He was convinced that human dignity is based on the preservation of fundamental moral values, and none are more important than upholding the truth: his work epitomized the highest standards of journalism. In his honor, the Paul Klebnikov Fund was set up to continue Paul’s commitment to transparency, freedom of speech and the development of a healthy civil society in Russia.

Project Klebnikov
http://www.projectklebnikov.org/
Paul Klebnikov, the 41-year-old top editor of the Russian edition of Forbes magazine, was one of the few reporters working at the nexus of post-Soviet politics, big business and the global spread of multi-billion dollar organized crime conglomerates. His murder in Moscow on July 9th, 2004, was a brutal blow for investigative journalism in Russia. But as long as it remains a mystery, it also represents a threat to investigative journalism worldwide and a vicious attack on the rule of law.

The account of the first American reporter killed contract-style in Russia never got much traction in the West. It was a story without a Nielsen audience, and convoluted as well, set amid a tangle of Kremlin power struggles, corrupt oligarchs, military and intelligence cabals, embezzlement of foreign aid, Chechen terrorists and Russian organized crime elements ranging from Moscow to Chechnya to London and New York.

Project Klebnikov is a global alliance specifically devoted to developing new information on the Klebnikov murder and to furthering some of the investigative work Paul began. Our reporters and editors are drawn from the full spectrum of international media outlets. (Some of us must remain anonymous, at least for the time being.) Individual journalists will publish and broadcast their own stories via the newspapers, broadcast networks, wire services, news magazines and other media with which they are affiliated. Joint ventures, when feasible, will be encouraged. We will also gather and share background information, documents and leads through a virtual bureau coordinated by a core membership. Alliance members and our website (www.projectklebnikov.org) will be available to Russian colleagues and anyone else with an interest in the case, whether they are journalists, government officials, concerned citizens or sources with information to contribute.
