How they killed Nemtsov
Anzor Gubashev, a guard of the Magnolia store on the Volokolamsk highway in Moscow, was a driver of a car who followed Boris Nemtsov and his companion late in the evening of February 27, 2015. Zaur Dadaev, the junior lieutenant of the North regiment of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, was precisely the person who first released three bullets, then three more (two) into politics - on the spot. The first denied his possible involvement in the murder until March 18, when he first testified, the second began to speak immediately after the detention of the FSB of the Russian Federation in Ingushetia and on the night of March 7 to 8 gave extensive testimonies to the first investigator in the case, General of the IC of the Russian Federation Igor Krasnov. The third member of the murder, Beslan Shavanov, also served in the North regiment: on March 7, during the detention in the apartment in Grozny, he died as a result of a grenade explosion. At the disposal of The New Times were the materials of several interrogations of Gubashev and Dadaev, which allow you to see how Boris Nemtsov was killed. We did not change the line - only reduced and compared the testimony of the accused

It’s not personally to me: “Yes, you do it, you need to do it,” well, like that Boris Nemtsov supports Charlie Ebdo and wants to support and publish, distribute caricatures, newspapers, magazines, and all that to Muhammad’s messenger. Well, then they thought, thought, in short decided, consulted, I consulted with Beslan, Anzor, and consulted in private. I agreed.

For about a month and a half, I, Shavanov Beslan and Zaur Dadaev, watched Nemtsov and his movements.* We followed Nemtsov using our ZAZ car, which I talked about above, and also walked after him. They followed in turn, mostly I am Beslan Shavanov. A couple of times in the surveillance, Zaur Dadaev participated, who was supposed to kill Nemtsov from the pistol at a convenient occasion.
During the surveillance, I, Beslan and Zaur Dadaev, installed a house in the Horde area in Moscow, next to Golikovsky Lane, where Nemtsov lived, the place where he worked, which is also located near the Horde. They also installed a machine on which Nemtsov moved with the driver - a lander, a jeep, a license plate 911, I don’t remember the letters, but the Moscow region. We also found that Nemtsov in his car was sitting in the front passenger seat next to the driver. Nemtsov for a month and a half we saw only 2-3 times.
Once Nemtsov, I saw coming out of his house in an horde in Moscow in a cafe located somewhere next to his house. In general, the entire schedule of Nemtsov’s movement was chaotic, it was extremely difficult to find and overtake him, as he loved to walk around Moscow and was always in a crowd of people. And we did not want someone else to suffer from strangers when killing Nemtsov.

Murder
From the protocol of interrogation Anzor Gubashev
March 30, 2015
They waited and sat in the car for about 30–40 minutes, after which I, together with Beslan Shavanov, again went to Red Square towards the restaurant, but almost on the corner near the GUM building we saw Nemtsov and the girl walking towards us. Recognized him. They thought, maybe Nemtsov and the girl would go by a taxi, but they began to go down to the bridge on foot, apparently heading to Nemtsov’s house. Beslan Shavanov and I were a little ahead of them in the course of their movement. Беслан с одного из секретных телефонов позвонил Зауру Дадаеву на другой секретный телефон и в разговоре сообщил на чеченском языке, что Немцов двигается в сторону нашей машины ЗАЗ. Мы с Бесланом Шавановым сели в машину ЗАЗ — я за руль, а Беслан Шаванов сел на заднее сиденье. Немцов вместе с девушкой прошли пешком в сторону моста и, зайдя на мост, стали двигаться в сторону дома Немцова. Место и время для убийства были идеальны. Никого из посторонних лиц не было, даже стоявшие там неподалеку машины сотрудников ГАИ также неожиданно уехали. Тут же Заур Дадаев взял пистолет с глушителем из-под сиденья и засунул его себе в брюки, а также взял один из секретных телефонов для связи и пошел следом за Немцовым и девушкой на мост. Мы ожидали сигнала от Заура Дадаева и спустя какое-то время стали потихонечку двигаться за Зауром Дадаевым. I was driving. Второй секретный телефон был у Беслана Шаванова, который сидел на заднем сиденье в нашей машине. Заур также позвонил Беслану и сообщил, чтобы машина чуть двигалась потихонечку за ним. Заур был на связи. Я потихонечку двигался на машине вперёд. Видел, что на мост заехала автомашина «КАМАЗ» уборочной службы. В какое-то время я увидел через лобовое стекло, что Заур Дадаев догнал Немцова и его девушку и вытянул левую руку. Понял, что стреляет в Немцова.
Беслан Шаванов — друг и подчиненный Заура Дадаева: они вместе служили в полку «Север»
Из протокола допроса Заура Дадаева
(8 марта 2015 года)
Я его, короче, увидел, уже когда было метров двадцать, тридцать расстояние было между нами. Я его начал догонять быстрым шагом, пока он опять в толпу куда-нибудь не ушёл. Я его начал догонять, догонять… Уже в упор… Ну, не в упор, метров пять когда осталось. Да, до пяти осталось. Как раз, чисто по случайности, проезжала мимо мусороуборочная машина. Вот, я как раз, как она уже сравнялась, можно сказать, когда она уже с нами сравнялась, тогда произвёл выстрелы. Шесть выстрелов в общем /…/
Вопрос: Где оно ( убийство. — NT ), кстати, было совершено?
Ответ: На большом, напротив Кремля, на большом мосту /…/
Вопрос : А что там рядом было?
Ответ: Напротив был Кремль. Был большой мост и река. И всё /…/
Вопрос: А почему вы решили совершить преступление вот именно на том мосту в Москве, о котором вы сейчас говорили?
Ответ: Чисто случайно. Он вышел из кабака. Когда он выходил, никто не имел в виду, что он пойдет в ту сторону, не знали, что он пойдет обязательно именно в ту сторону. Вдоль этой набережной напротив Кремля. Но так как пошёл, всё было сделано, потому что не было людей, народа не было. Хотели избежать этого. Кто виноват, он виноват. Но люди, народ, хотели этого всего хотели каким-то образом избежать/…/
Ничего не говорил, никаких слов, ни «обернись», ни ради кого-то, ни ради чего-то. Я этим не хвастался. Ни перед ним, ни перед кем. Просто Всевышний знает, отчего, для кого и как я это сделал. Поэтому сразу же сделал три выстрела.
Вопрос: На каком расстоянии вы производили выстрелы?
Ответ: Я сам левша, в момент убийства левой рукой, но оружие вынималось правой рукой. Затем взял в левую руку и из левой руки, на расстоянии где-то 5 метров, сделал три выстрела. Когда сделал три выстрела, он уже упал. Когда он падал, он за собой потянул и эту девушку. Девушка, так как непричастна и ни имеет никакого к этому дела, девушку не стал я трогать. Потому, что я этого и боялся. Хотел избежать лишних последствий, лишнего преступления, связанного с Борисом Немцовым. Когда он падал, он потянул девушку за собой, я уже перебегал, машина сравнялась. Сделал три выстрела на расстоянии пяти метров, машина проехала, я отскакиваю.
Вопрос: Какая машина?
Ответ: Вот эта мусороуборочная. Машина проехала, я проскакивал, вижу, тот поднимается. Не подходил, как был, так и сделал еще три выстрела.
Вопрос: А дальше куда вы пистолет дели?
Ответ: Пистолет засунул вот так (показывает, как убирал пистолет за пояс). Телефон был у меня на звонке. Я когда за ним шёл, то позвонил… ждите, ждите машину. Анзору звонил. Жди, жди, жди… Мусороуборочная машина, выстрел, отскочил, еще три выстрела. В тот момент, когда первые выстрелы сделал… давай, давай машину. Всё, выключил телефон. Три выстрела, отскочил, еще три выстрела, машина подъехала, сел в машину, за большой мост, метров 150–200, выскочил и… к себе домой.
Вопрос: Скажите, а можете ли вы объяснить, где, когда и при каких обстоятельствах приобрели пистолет, из которого совершили убийство?
Ответ: Не могу сказать. Машину и пистолет нам этот, как его… Сами за этим, за машинами ездили, за пистолетами ходили. Привезли, машину дали нам, Анзору дали машину…
Вопрос: Кто?
Ответ: Ну, этот Русик. И пистолет в этой же машине привез… и всё.
Вопрос: А патроны, боеприпасы?
Ответ : Восемь патронов было, по-моему, тоже подсобрали.
Вопрос: Вы проверяли вообще работоспособность?
Ответ: Вообще не стреляли. Я спросил: «Работоспособно, не подведет?». Сказал, что работоспособно.
«Он просто хотел привстать, наверно, из-за того, что здоровый сам мужчина был»
Вопрос: Вы в оружии разбираетесь?
Ответ: Ну как, так служил. Разбираюсь.
Вопрос : А почему именно в качестве орудия убийства был избран пистолет?
Ответ : Не киллер я, поэтому, наверно. Не заказной я, чтобы кого-то убивать. That's why…
Вопрос: Скажите, а вы спутницу, которая была в момент совершения преступления в отношении Бориса Немцова, может, знаете, Дурицкая Анна, Вы её когда-либо раньше видели?
Ответ: Раньше никогда не видел и никаких личных отношений с ней никогда не было. В тот день она была непосредственным свидетелем на месте преступления.
Вопрос: Она вас видела?
Ответ: Конечно, видела она меня. Она когда падала, даже когда я на неё не смотрел, она на меня смотрела же.
Вопрос : Вы видели её взгляд?
Ответ: Я нет. Вообще не видел. Тот ( Немцов . — NT ), когда падал, за собой её потянул, и та ( Дурицкая. — NT ), короче, как реветь начала, я оттуда соскочил сразу же. А её оставил из-за того, что она никакого отношения к этому не имеет.
Вопрос: Оставили, в смысле? В живых вы имеете в виду?
Ответ: Да, в живых.
Вопрос: Скажите, а когда последние три выстрела производили, в каком положении Борис Немцов находился?
Ответ: Он на правом боку лежал.
Вопрос: А первые три выстрела куда ему попали, вы видели?
Ответ: В спину. В области туловища, точно не могу сказать.
Вопрос: А остальные три выстрела?
Ответ: Одна пуля, по-моему, даже попала, а те две, по-моему, не попали. Он просто хотел привстать, наверно, из-за того, что здоровый сам мужчина был. Если здоровым не был бы, такие вещи не говорил, не делал.
Из заключения медико-криминалистической судебной экспертизы
от 31 августа 2015 года
У Немцова Б.Е., 09.10.1959 г.р., имелись множественные (05) огнестрельные пулевые сквозные (03) и слепые (02) ранения груди и живота /…/, были причинены в результате пяти выстрелов из огнестрельного оружия, пулями диаметром около 9 мм (две из них «красноватого металла» в виде «цилиндрического предмета, с закругленным концом, длиной около 12 мм») за пределами границ близкой дистанции выстрела, ориентировочно не более чем за 30 минут до наступления его смерти.
Материал подготовила Евгения Альбац * Нельзя не заметить отличие языка и стиля протоколов первых трех допросов Анзора Губашева, в том числе и от 18 марта, и протокола допроса от 30 марта: если на первых допросах Губашев откровенно куражится над следователем («гнида», «Бориска Немцов»), то начиная с 30 марта он становится значительно сдержаннее на язык, а сами протоколы допросов — уже не дословная расшифровка видеозаписей допросов, а изложение транскрипта записи. Впрочем, это только предположение NT .
