JENNIFER GRIFFIN: I covered wars, terror and tragedy for Fox News. What I found was a family

I started reporting for Fox News in 1997, shortly after its launch in October 1996, while based in Moscow. Russian President Boris Yeltsin had just undergone heart surgery in November when I arrived, and the Mir Space Station, a Soviet-Russian station, with American astronauts on board, caught fire — the first fire on an international space station.

Every Monday, Yeltsin seemed to fire his cabinet, sending shock waves through the Western world. Vladimir Putin had moved to Moscow in 1996.
