Early life and education

Elena Milashina was born in 1977. In 1994–95, she took part in the FLEX exchange program; this helped her to further enter the Moscow State University.

Career

In 1997, Milashina began working as a reporter and journalist for Novaya Gazeta, while studying at the same time. One of her mentors was Anna Politkovskaya. In 2001 she graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University.

The areas of professional interest of Milashina include corruption, human rights violations in the North Caucasus and Chechnya, in particular, the investigation of the 2004 Beslan school siege, the 2006 assassination of Anna Politkovskaya, the 2008 conflict in South Ossetia, and the 2009 abduction and murder of Natalya Estemirova.
