Kremlin motifs

Prochrevsky media are engaged in the production of versions of the murder of Boris Nemtsov, designed to take attention from Putin and the entire Russian government as the most likely customers of the crime. Specials are nominated one more absurd than another - from the revenge of the Islamists for the conviction of Boris Efimovich of the execution of the editorial office of Charlie Ebdo to the murder on the basis of jealousy. But most of all reasoning that the enemies of Putin and Russia were killed with a provocative goal (that for the Kremlin one and the same thing). These enemies are either hot heads from the opposition, striving to substitute Putin at all costs, or external enemies - the CIA, SBU, the Right Sector, etc. Therefore, the initial tone of the officiaificial comments - Nemtsov de miserable, insignificant personality, the Kremlin was not at all afraid of him and did not take him seriously at all - he changed quite quickly. They began to push on the fact that Boris Efimovich, they say, in the past was a prominent politician and Russia brought some benefits, but only lost his influence and significance when he moved to the non-systemic opposition. And it turns out that the enemies of Russia dealt with some insignificant person, whose death should not be paid attention to.

If you distract from the Kremlin Achinea, which sometimes some former oppositionists repeat out of fear, then there are only two real versions of the murder. First: that the murder of Boris Nemtsov is the same state crime as the murder of Alexander Litvinenko, and only the first person of the state could give the order about him. The second - that the opposition was killed by some radical supporters of Anti -Maidan in order to prevent the repetition of the Maidan in Russia and make Putin pleasant.

However, the second version is poorly believed. Too a specific murder place. A few years ago, I happened to participate in the television) very close to this place - so after a couple of minutes people in civilian clothes jumped to us, demanded to show the shot and interrogated for an hour how we got there and what we were doing. There is no doubt that in the vicinity of the Kremlin every square meter under the control of the FSO and video cameras dozens. And so far only one video recording of poor quality is demonstrated to the public, on which the very moment of the murder is hidden from the observation of the snow removal machine. (About the same record, without showing a key event, was shown after a resonant accident on Leninsky Prospekt with the participation of the Lukoil top manager.) And the fact that the investigation authorities still could not find not only killers, but even their car, talks about a lot.

The Kremlin could have two motives for reprisals with Nemtsov. The first: of all the politicians of the liberal wing of the non -systemic opposition, only Boris Efimovich could collect mass demonstrations - albeit not hundreds of thousands, but in thousands and tens of thousands of people. And Nemtsov was about to publish a report with evidence of the participation of the Russian army in battles in the Donbass. Any of these reasons was enough to eliminate the opposition. The murder, apparently, was carried out by a highly professional killer: as the investigation assures, he shot in Macedonian-from two hands.

Boris Efimovich foresaw that in Putin Russia he could not survive. Back in July 2011, he said in an interview: “There are three possible scenarios of the revolution in Russia. And by the degree of probability they are distributed as follows. In the first place - a nationalist scenario. It will be a revolution with the pogroms of foreigners. In second place is the socialist or communist scenario. It will be a revolution caused by the dissatisfaction of the standard of living, the lack of social mobility, and an increase in corruption and an increase in corruption and an increase in corruption. Thefts, hatred of the oligarchs, and finally, in third place, the liberal revolution caused by the lack of freedom and democracy, in any case, the revolution is a bloodstream for the revolutionary scenario.

Nemtsov believed that as a result of the forcibly overthrow of the Putin regime, liberals and democrats were unlikely to come to power. And he admitted: "I am not a supporter of the revolution due to my age and political views, although I was a participant in two revolutions - in Moscow in August of the 91st and Orange Revolution in Kyiv in 2004." And to the question: "But what will happen if the current regime does not want to leave power even under the pressure of the people and the revolution will nevertheless happen?" - Nemtsov replied: "There will be many victims. I can become one of them."

Boris Efimovich was afraid to become a victim of the revolution, but became a victim of the dictatorship, because there was no revolution.
