  1. Terrible, I read about it in Gary Kasparov’s book, “Winter is Coming”.

    Insane to me how some people don’t give a fuck about these murders though. I know people who are pro-Russian morons, but I’d have guessed at least they’d be against what Putin is doing with his political opponents.

    A person I talked to said “The traitor deserved it” about Navalny. And I was like… the only thing he did was stand up to Putin and basically talk words out of his mouth. How the fuck do you justify imprisonment, let alone murder for that? … fingers in ears, “la la la” (figuratively). A fucking idiot.

  2. The final actual opposition leader in Russia and good person.

  3. There is no clearer sign of weakness than having to murder people with opposing opinions.

  4. In front of the Kremlin! And some politicians still pretended that Russia is a valuable and trustworthy trade partner.

  5. RIP. How many brave men and women must be murdered by a regime until we do something?

  6. When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say

  7. The last from the russian’s opposition. A day of no return for russians.

  8. He actually was prominent and had support in Russia, unlike other so called “heroes”

  9. And he was also a theoretical physicist. Killed by the FSB in front of the Kremlin. He was the true opposition and hope for Russia. A loss an immense tragedy. infinitely more painful than Navalny’s.

  10. I’m a Ukrainian, and Nemtsov was the last Russian politician I respected. When they murdered him, they murdered the last small hope for a bright future for Russia, the last chance to stop the Third World War.

    After that Russia and her people accelerated their run into darkness and they’re trying to take us to that hell. Now we have millions of refugees and hundreds of thousands killed civilians.

    And that is just the beginning. Some naive people think that Russians will stop with Ukraine, but it’s just a matter of time before we see ‘Bucha’ in European cities and villages, and it is months, not years.

  11. Putin is the real villain of the world and still he is just allowed to continue.. should have been stopped a long time ago

  12. It was actually the only real political opposition russia ever had.

  13. He was shot in the back right in front of the Kremlin. One could argue that this was made to show the rest of the world that “we dont give a f*ck about where and whom to kill”.

    People would bring flowers to the bridge – so that the city services would clean it all up in the earliest hours on the morning after. Cleaning up any trace. Same thing hapenning with Navalny.

    He was a top lad and had huge balls. RIP.

  14. When I was little, I had honor to meet him in person.

  15. One of few Russian politicians that everyone respected in Ukraine. While Putin in his interview speaks about distant past, Nemtsov was always speaking about the future. RIP

  16. Somehow “prominent opposition politician in russia” is always followed by “…was murdered”.

  17. The last real opposition, unbelievable that there was basically no reaction to it

  18. Он был последним шансом России на светлое будущее. А ещё он был просто хорошим человеком. 😞 press f.

  19. On this day, 9 years ago, Putin once again showed the World what a giant, insecure pussy he is.
