Irina Petrushova (born 1965)〔 is a Russian journalist, founder and editor-in-chief of the weekly ''Respublika'' in Kazakhstan. After a series of stories exposing government corruption, her life was threatened and her paper firebombed. In 2002, she was awarded a CPJ International Press Freedom Award. == Early life == Petrushova was born near Nizhny Novgorod in 1965.〔 She is the daughter of Albert Petrushov, a reporter for the Russian Communist Party newspaper ''Pravda''. Petrushov was known for his exposés of government corruption in Kazakhstan, including a story which ended the career of Kazakh Politburo member Dinmukhamed A. Kunayev.〔〔 In the early 1980s, Petrushova joined a journalism program at St. Petersburg State University that would allow her to work with her father. She later stated that traveling the country with him and seeing the impact that media attention could have on life in remote villages "made me positive that this is the thing I should do with my life." Petrushova married a psychologist in 1984. The couple have two sons.〔 In 1992, Petrushova's father suffered serious brain damage when he was struck, apparently deliberately, by a car. His manuscript for a book on Kunayev was stolen while he was unconscious.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Irina Petrushova」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
