Today marks 20 years since Novaya Gazeta journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in Moscow. She recognized Putin's true nature earlier than most—and the regime could never erase the truth she died to tell.

Billy Bragg is right. Over and over again, millions of us cast a vote knowing it will likely count for nothing. It's no wonder so many people are angry, frustrated and disillusioned. No wonder many are losing hope and giving up on voting. PR is a way to give everyone a fair vote and a fair voice.
