Liberals laid flowers at the site of Nemtsov’s death and are preparing a march in Moscow
Liberals and representatives of Western embassies carried flowers on Thursday evening to the site of the death of opposition politician Boris Nemtsov, who was shot five years ago on the Bolshoi Moskvoretsky Bridge.
Badges with Nemtsov’s photograph, coffee and cakes were distributed on the bridge.
The opposition leaders did not look depressed - they greeted each other with a smile, discussing plans for Saturday, when a march of opponents of the authorities was planned in Moscow, timed to coincide with the fifth anniversary of Nemtsov’s murder.
Let us recall that Nemtsov himself held marches under the slogan of peace with Bandera’s Ukraine, actually supporting the regime that seized power in Kyiv and accusing the Russian leadership of “starting a war.”
Nemtsov was shot dead on the night of February 28th in central Moscow on the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge. The five men who carried out his murder were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 11 to 20 years. Interestingly, Ukrainian citizen Anna Duritskaya was with him at the time of the murder.
Media reports indicated that Duritskaya had moved to Kyiv, where she purchased two apartments several months after Nemtsov's murder . Ukrainian media linked Duritskaya to working for the SBU or nationalists.
