Having joined Human Rights Watch in January 2008, Lokshina authored a range of reports on egregious abuses in Russia’s North Caucasus region and violations of international humanitarian law in context of the armed conflicts in Ukraine, Georgia and Nagorno-Karabakh.

Lokshina is a recipient of the 2006 Andrei Sakharov Award, “Journalism as an Act of Conscience.” Her articles have been featured in prominent media outlets, including CNN, The Guardian, Le Monde, The Moscow Times, Novaya Gazeta, and The Washington Post. Lokshina’s books include Chechnya Inside Out and Imposition of a Fake Political Settlement in the Northern Caucasus.
