Six people are suspected of involvement in the case – former police officer Dmitry Pavlyuchenkov, Chechen-born Lom-Ali Gaitukayev, former police officer Sergei Kadzhikurbanov and the Makhmudov brothers, one of whom is alleged to have been the killer. None of them have been brought to justice.

She actually lived long. Say, Alexander Lebed' died in a helicopter crash in 2002, and Galina Starovoytova was killed in 1998, and similarly bad things (or just their marginalization and presentation as nutjobs by mass media, like with Novodvorskaya and Stomakhin) happened to most of people with actual political potential and spine from the Russian 90s.
