RT [@sarahrainsford](https://twitter.com/sarahrainsford/status/1312042703237132293) Russian journalist Irina Slavina has died after setting herself on fire. A man tried to beat out the flames but she pushed him off. She was engulfed by fire within 30 seconds
It is a horrific act of protest – or desperation
She was being investigated for her opposition activism
