Russian liberals mourn the murder of a Russophobe
A dozen Russian liberals gathered late Tuesday on the Moskvoretsky Bridge in the Russian capital, which they call the Nemtsov Bridge as the site of the murder of a prominent liberal politician.
Young people thus honored the memory of fugitive journalist Arkady Babchenko, who was shot dead in Kyiv. Today there will also be memorial events in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
“I can’t just sit and read the tape now where everyone is saying goodbye to Arkady Babchenko. Let's do at least something, symbolically, useless - but right.
Boris Vishnevsky will come to the Solovetsky Stone tomorrow in St. Petersburg at 7 pm. I will come too - in Moscow, on Lubyanka Square. Because you can't kill journalists.
Because you just can't kill. Because this is exactly what Arkady always wrote about - and in response he received first curses, and now bullets in the back,” former State Duma deputy Dmitry Gudkov wrote on Facebook.
One of the subscribers reminded Gudkov about the Russophobic and misanthropic statements of Babchenko, who rejoiced at the death of Oles Buzina, Elizaveta Glinka, the Alexandrov choir and even children in Kemerovo. Gudkov's supporters immediately attacked her with insults.
