Timeline

2013

Beketov died at the age of 55 from cardiac arrest on 8 April 2013.

2010

Beketov accused the local mayor, Vladimir Strelchenko, of criminal activity in relation to the building of the motorway. In turn, Strelchenko sued Beketov for libel in 2010. Unable to speak or walk, Beketov lost the case. Strelchenko remained mayor for four years and eventually stepped down, according to authorities, for unrelated reasons.

In the autumn of 2010 a series of rallies was held in Moscow and elsewhere against persecution of civil activists and journalists in Russia.

On 27 November 2010 a group of concerned people visited Mikhail Beketov in his home. They presented him with 501 roses and held a concert. The money for the roses had been collected from sympathisers on the Internet, so that each person could buy one rose.

2008

Beketov covered the construction of the motorway and its potential damage to the environment, particularly around the area of the Khimki Forest, near Moscow. He also covered activists working to prevent the destruction of the forest, like Yevgenia Chirikova. He claims to have received warnings from local officials to desist his coverage, and his car was set on fire and his dog killed. Finally, on 13 November 2008 he was assaulted by unknown assailants. He sustained severe injuries, including brain damage, and the loss of his right leg and four fingers. The attack took place outside his home in Khimki. Beketov underwent eight operations and used a wheelchair.

1958

Mikhail Vasilyevich Beketov (Russian: Михаил Васильевич Бекетов; 10 January 1958 – 8 April 2013) was a Russian journalist who came to widespread attention when he was attacked in an assault thought to be connected with his coverage of the planned destruction of the Khimki Forest to make way for the Moscow–Saint Petersburg motorway.
