Surprising? -- no. She was such a great journalist, a rare kind who had guts to speak out when every body was afraid to name things what they were. She did reports and commentary for TV also a long time ago. I remember her reports from way back, before chechen war -- I had a great respect for her honesty and courage. She was without doubt one of the most noticable journalists in Russia and since the chechen war started authorities had campaigns to discredit her and accused her of being a terrorist propaganda tool and so on. She endured a lot and tried tell what she saw and to bring information that was not fed by the government. Very tragic that she died so young.
