The square in front of the Russian Embassy in Washington will be named after Boris Nemtsov on February 27
From February 27, the square in front of the Russian Embassy in Washington will bear the name of Russian politician Boris Nemtsov, who was shot dead on February 27, 2015 in the center of Moscow. This was announced by the head of the Boris Nemtsov Foundation Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr.
“By a separate decision, the Washington City Council unanimously voted for an accelerated procedure for passing a bill on Boris Nemtsov Square in front of the Russian Embassy. The renaming will take effect by February 27,” he wrote on Facebook .
Thus, Washington became the first city where the memory of Russian politics is immortalized. In Moscow in September 2017, activists erected a memorial plaque in memory of Nemtsov. But the authorities called its installation illegal.
On February 25 in Moscow, the Solidarity movement planned to hold a March in memory of Boris Nemtsov.
Boris Nemtsov was shot dead on February 27, 2015 on the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge in the center of Moscow.
