Kompromat

The online database at compromat.ru, which publishes material from the journal Kompromat, has reproduced an article smearing Yulia Latynina and Anna Politkovskaya, the two journalists who have done more than any others to reveal the extent of the Kremlin's involvement in the ongoing attempts to whip up ethnic conflict in the Caucasus. As Masha Gessen has pointed out, the magazine "prints for the highest bidder -- defamation is the service it provides."

Ingushetia.ru has a report here.
