Sometime in December 1993 Marina Iskanderova, a journalist with local television, was murdered in her flat in the far northern city of Nadym. A criminal investigation was opened.
Reporting her death, the national weekly Rossiskie vesti (10 December 1993) said Iskanderova was popular in the town for her coverage of the strike by workers in the gas industry. The strike demanding back pay for the last six months from Gazprom and the Russian government began on 22 November 1993.
