MOSCOW — A journalist for the popular daily newspaper Kommersant was seriously injured Saturday morning in an attack that his editor said was probably connected to his work.
The journalist, Oleg Kashin, 30, is in a medically induced coma in a Moscow hospital with a concussion, a broken jaw, fractures in both legs and broken fingers, the newspaper reported Saturday. At least one finger was severed at the joint.
The newspaper’s editor, Mikhail Mikhailin, said he believed the attack was related to Mr. Kashin’s assignment — covering youth political movements and protest actions, among other political themes.
