The name of Russia

In Kyiv, the renaming commission supported the initiative of the mayor of the city Vitaly Klitschko to call the square the Russian embassy by the name of Boris Nemtsov. This was reported by the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Dmitry Belotserkovets.

“To erase from the memory of Ukrainians and Russians the name of Nemtsov will not be the Kremlin’s name. He was the main ally of free Ukraine and future democratic Russia. It is for this reason that the Kremlin deprived him of his life, but his case will continue to live in generations. The last step is the decision of the session of the City Council, which, I am sure, will appear in the very near future,” the Belotserkovets wrote.

On Thursday, in the city council of Washington, public hearings were held on a bill on renaming the Wisaconsin Avenue section opposite the Russian embassy at Boris Nemtsov Plaza, reports The Washington Post. "The current Russian political regime wants to eradicate the memory of my father, because he believes, and it is fair that the symbols are important and can potentially facilitate and inspire changes," said Nemtsov’s daughter Zhanna at the hearing.

Politician Vladimir Kara -Murza Jr., chairman of the Boris Nemtsov Foundation, noted that this will be a reminder to the Americans, "that Russia is not only Putin autocracy and that there are honest Russians, such as Boris Nemtsov, who are fighting for dignity and justice." The City Council of Washington will hold votes under the bill in the next two weeks, after which, in case of approval, he will enter the signature of the mayor of Washington.

The co-chair of the RPR-Parnas Nemtsov was killed on February 27, 2015 in Moscow. At the site of his death, a memorial spontaneously arose. People brought flowers, lamps, as well as flags and posters. The proposals were made to rename the Big Moskvoretsky bridge in Nemtsov Bridge. The memorial was repeatedly attacked .

In July 2015, Parnas sent a guarantee letter to the Moscow City Duma that the party was ready to take on all the expenses associated with the development of the project of a memorial plaque and its installation at the place of murder of Nemtsov. However, the Moscow City Duma Commission on monumental art rejected the idea of ​​installing a memorial plaque to Nemtsov.

On September 7, a memorial plate with the inscription with the inscription was installed on a house on a small horde by a unanimous decision of the meeting of residents and owners of the premises: "There lived a politician Boris Nemtsov, who died at the hands of the hired killer on February 27, 2015." The coordinator of the project "Last Address" Sergey Parkhomenko emphasized that the plate is installed absolutely legally.

However, activists of the Prochrevsky movement of SERB Igor Beketov (Gosha Tarasich) and Igor Brumel twice tore a sign from the wall of the house .
