...Soviet dissidents, once hunted by the general, came because they believe that Politkovskaya was one of the remaining few who stood by values and principles for which they had fought. "That is the problem that so many dissidents have become bosses now," said Maria Rosanova, a living legend of the erstwhile Soviet dissident movement, colleague and widow of late writer and thinker Andrei Sinyavsky.
