Russia's new, young, attractive President – elected March 2 and taking office in May -- may represent a dramatic new step in Russia's young democracy... or merely an unusual figurehead for a third Presidential term by Vladimir Putin acting through him.

Anna Moya has reported the news about Russia to Russians... Yet as a naturalized U.S. citizen from Bulgaria, who grew up in New York and attended Dartmouth College, Anna is also able to explain it all very naturally to Americans.

Anna covered Russian business in Moscow for the television news show Business Today, and served as a correspondent for Russia Today TV starting in July 2006. She was recently transferred as a correspondent in the Washington News Bureau for Russia Today TV.

Anna covered the G-8 summit in St. Petersburg, July 2006, and reported live from the Kremlin, following President Putin's annual address to the Federal Assembly in 2007. She monitored the presidential elections in Belarus, March 2006, as an assistant to a Wall Street Journal correspondent. Anna covered the gas-price dispute with Belarus from both Moscow and Poland, and reported from Beslan, on the anniversary of the horrific terrorist hostage crisis by Chechens in Beslan's public school.

She has interviewed Russian and internationally-acclaimed business magnates including head of the Russian Railroads Vladimir Yakunin and FedEx leader Frank Maguire, representatives of the largest Russian companies, and top government officials.

Anna was among the few reporters permitted to visit the famous Guantanamo Bay detention facility, where she reported on the arraignment of terrorist suspect Omar Khadr. Khadr is the last Western citizen held at Guantanamo and is expected to become the first detainee tried by U.S. Military Commissions.

Anna currently covers U.S. politics and the 2008 presidential election. She reported on primaries from: Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida, and Ohio.

Anna is a graduate of Dartmouth College in New Hampshire and a recipient of the prestigious Phillips Foundation Fellowship Gold Award for Journalism. She is fluent in English, Spanish, Bulgarian, and Russian. For more on Anna, visit www.russiatoday.ru/employee/57
