 |  Subject: Putin, You're A Fucking Animal: Anti-Kremlin opposition leader Boris Nemtsov shot and killed in downtown Moscow  Fri Feb 27, 2015 7:04 pm | |
| According to the source, former Deputy Prime Minister Nemtsov was shot from a white car, which then disappeared. "Nemtsov was shot. He is dead," one of his associates Ilya Yashin said on Facebook.
The information has also been confirmed by the police, which also said that measures are being taken to search for the killers.
Russia's Investigative Committee confirmed the death, saying it had opened a criminal probe.
"According to preliminary information, an unidentified person shot at Boris Nemtsov no fewer than 7-8 times from a car as he was walking along the Bolshoi Moskvoretsky bridge," investigators said in a statement.
Putin to oversee investigation
The committee, which reports directly to Putin, said that "experienced" investigators had been put on the case. The Kremlin said that Putin will personally oversee the investigation.
Putin condemned the killing and took the investigation under presidential command, saying it could have been a contract killing and a "provocation" on the eve of a big opposition protest that Nemtsov had been due to lead in Moscow on Sunday.
One of the Interfax sources added that the shooting showed signs of being an ordered hit.
There was an immediate outpouring of shock and grief on social media. Opposition activist and former chess world champion Garry Kasparov tweeted his dismay:
- Quote :
- Devastated to hear of the brutal murder of my long-time opposition colleague Boris Nemtsov. Shot 4 times, once for each child he leaves.
— Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63) February 27, 2015 Nemtsov was a deputy prime minister under President Boris Yeltsin in the 1990s, and an outspoken critic of Yeltsin's successor Vladimir Putin.
He was once seen as a possible successor to Boris Yeltsin, Russia's first elected president. After Putin was first elected in 2000, Nemtsov helped organize street protests and wrote extensively about official corruption.
After leaving parliament in 2003, he helped establish and led several opposition parties and groups.
Nemtov's murder comes ahead of a major opposition rally scheduled to take place on March 1.

| List of dead Kremlin critics grows with Nemtsov murder
Boris Nemtsov's name was added to the list of Kremlin opponents who have been killed or died in suspicious circumstances in recent years after the slaying of the prominent opposition leader in central Moscow Friday.
Here are some of the key people to have died:
-- February 27, 2015: leading opposition figure and former deputy prime minister Boris Nemtsov, 55, is gunned down at around 23:15 just metres from the Kremlin, in the very heart of the Russian capital.
-- March 23, 2013: former oligarch and fierce foe of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Boris Berezovsky, 67, is found hanged in a bathroom at his country home in the UK, where he was living in exile. Coroners record an open verdict into his death after being unable to confirm it was suicide despite strong evidence that Berezovsky had killed himself.
-- November 16, 2009: financial lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, 37, dies after being denied medical treatment in a Moscow jail after denouncing official corruption. His death sparks a crisis between the United States and Russia after Washington passes the so-called "Magnitsky Act" to target Russian officials implicated in his demise.
-- July 15, 2009: human rights activist Natalia Estemirova, 50, investigating government abuses in the volatile North Caucasus region of Chechnya is kidnapped in the local capital Grozny and found dead several hours later.
-- January 19, 2009: human rights lawyer Stanislav Markelov, 34, and opposition journalist Anastasia Baburova, 25, are gunned down in the middle of a Moscow street after leaving a press conference.
-- November 23, 2006: former intelligence officer turned Putin critic Alexander Litvinenko, 43, dies after allegedly drinking tea laced with radioactive isotope polonium in a hotel in London, where he is living in exile. Two Russian businessmen and ex-KGB agents Dmitry Kovtun and Andrei Lugovoi are accused of poisoning Litvinenko by British authorities but Russia refuses to extradite them.
-- October 7, 2006: crusading journalist Anna Politkovskaya, 48, is shot dead at the entrance to her apartment block in central Moscow on Putin's 54th birthday. Five men are eventually found guilty of carrying out the hit but those who ordered the murder have never been identified.
-- July 9, 2004: investigative American journalist Paul Klebnikov, 41, dies after being shot as he leaves the offices of Forbes Russian-language version in Moscow. Klebnikov had angered oligarch Boris Berezovsky with his reporting and also probed the war in Chechnya. Over ten years since his murder no one has yet been found guilty.
-- April 17, 2003: liberal lawmaker Sergei Yushenkov, 52, is taken out by a hitman with a pistol as he returns to his home in Moscow. Yushenkov had probed a spate of devastating apartment bombings in 1999 which provided the pretext for the second Chechen War that helped propel Putin to power.
