Prominent Politician And Putin Critic Shot To Death In Moscow; "Shocked" John Kerry Urges Russia To Bring Justice

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Update: John Kerry has decided to comment:

 

Updates from Interfax:

  • PUTIN TAKES NEMTSOV MURDER UNDER PERSONAL CONTROL - PESKOV
  • BORIS NEMTSOV'S KILLING COULD BE ACT OF PROVOCATION, COMMITTED IN THE RUN-UP TO OPPOSITION MARCH SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 1 - SOURCE
  • CRIMINAL CASE OPENED INTO BORIS NEMTSOV'S KILLING - RUSSIAN INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE SPOKESMAN MARKIN
  • NEMTSOV'S DEATH APPEARS TO BE CONTRACT KILLING - SOURCE
  • INVESTIGATORS QUESTIONING WITNESSES TO NEMTSOV'S MURDER, CAREFULLY EXAMINING CRIME SCENE - INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE SPOKESMAN MARKIN
  • AT LEAST SEVEN SHOTS FIRED AT BORIS NEMTSOV FROM CAR PASSING BY - RUSSIAN INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE SPOKESMAN MARKIN

Just nine hours after tweeting "Putin annexed Crimea and is now handing over Siberia to the Chinese," and three ours after calling for a "Russian Spring" march, prominent Vladimir Putin critic and former deputy prime minister (in March 1997 Nemtsov was appointed First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, with special responsibility for reform of the energy sector), Boris Nemtsov, was killed in the center of Moscow.

 As The BBC notes, the Russian opposition politician and former deputy PM was shot to death on a Moscow street. Life News is reporting he was shot in the chest four times on a street very close to Red Square.

 

Nemtsov's last 2 tweets today...

The scene of the murder:

As Life News reports,

Late on the Friday night in downtown Moscow on Vasilevsky Spusk was killed prominent politician Boris Nemtsov.

 

According to preliminary data, the killer shot four times at the 55-year-old politician and fled the scene. The opposition leader died on the scene of the shooting.

 

The death of the politician was confirmed by his colleague from the "Republican Party of Russia - People's Freedom Party" Ilya Yashin.

 

"Nemtsov was shot. He's dead - Yashin wrote on his page on "Facebook".

 

Boris Nemtsov was one of the founders and leaders of the "Solidarity" party, co-chairman of a political party RPR-Parnassus, as well as a member of the Coordination Council of Russian opposition

*  *  *

The question now: who did it - a retaliation or a provocation, and if so - who is behind it and why? And of course - how will PUtin respond? 

One thing is certain: the full weight of the western media will fall like a ton of bricks on Putin and on what has already been described as Russia's descent "into darkness." 

More sanctions are almost certainly imminent, as is the escalation over Syria and the Ukraine conflict.

What's your point? 

There are still plenty of inside traders.  Many of them regularly visit the White House.  About 585 sit in Congress.  Untold numbers have offices on K Street, Wall Street, in politically appointed bureaucratic positions or as directors on multiple multinational corporations.  Finra has seen fit to ignore these players. 

If you think you can damage ZH by posting these links, you are clueless about the site and the people who frequent it. 

In fact, your screen name is very misleading considering who pays you to come here.  If you were truthful, it would be "nuke ASSAD now"

Nemtsov is hated by most Russians as one who sold out to the west. Killing him will not ilicit the kind of reaction the west is expecting.

I suppose this event is targeted to foreign public.

 Dead or alive at russia he didn't matter much. Western reaction - Putin did this. Common russian reaction - wtf? He was familiar harmless cockroach, but his death is out of place and didn't have sense It create not noticeable oppression or noticeable anti Putin uprising but only confusion.

 As anti government rallies mostly not big deal inside of russia but just picture for western journalists.

In a Democracy, there are two ways to vote:  With ballots, or with bullets.  The second way is usually more expediant and certainly more final.

 

I'll put it another way:  In Russia, when only one chamber has a bullet in it, it's called 'Russian roulette".  When all the chambers have bullets in them, it's called 'voting'.

The dude was totally spent and had 0 clout. He had no political future, no respect and regarded as a total traitor by the majority of Russians. As such he was no longer of any value to his CIA handlers, hence this theatrical killing right in front of the Kremlin.

Here. Just found another example of "prominent Russian politician" Western media is serving us here!

 

http://www.globalresearch.ca/did-a-russian-parliamentarian-just-commit-t...

 

"An interesting thing happened in Washington recently. Relatively small, little publicized event took place at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a prominent liberal-leaning think tank in Washington. The event, “Russia’s Opposition in a Time of War and Crisis,” featured prominent Russian liberal opposition parliamentarian (member of the Russian Duma) Ilya Ponomarev, a noted critic of Russian President Putin, providing a detailed presentation regarding the current political climate in Russia, and the potential for the ousting or overthrow of the Russian government. Yes, you heard that right. A Russian elected official came to the United States to give a talk about how best to effect regime change in his own country. Ilya Ponomarev prepared an entire PowerPoint detailing his contempt for Russia and his best advice for its ruination. The entire presentation can be viewed here"

Like I mentioned little earlier, those "prominent Russians" are not Russians as well as not prominent. It boggles mind why Russia allows those Western agents to operate so freely and undisturbed in Russia. She ought to use tenet of reciprocity entirely in dealing with the West, and the tenant states that something you allow of mine in your backyard, in the same quantity and at the same rate I allow in my backyard. Reciprocity. And since Russia has no NGOs and doesn't meddle in internal affairs and political processes of other nations in the world, why then she allows to be meddled in hers! Just expel those Western NGOs, sentence those traitors and execute them! You don't allow your enemy to meddle in your internal affairs ffs!

Excerpt from Putin's biography in 20 years:

One of Putin's aides came up with a zany suggestion; maybe he should actually shoot Boris Nemstov because posters on the website Zero Hedge would claim it was too obvious for Putin to have done it and they would think it was actually the CIA trying to implicate him.

Putin thought it was so crazy that he decided to try it, he logged onto Zero Hedge and found it actually worked.

You don't allow degenerates such as that Siamese twin of Reek, a homo scum, or Reek himself, or this ape Ekm, to operate undisturbed, else degenerations they are carrying then spread, you know. That also encourages them to repeat their behaviour. When you spot infection, you don't allow it to spread further but you fight the disease! I myself like to kill them on first occasion I get. You should too. Show them no mercy. The free people of the Earth is at war with that scum, and this enemy of ours deserves kind of mercy you would give to a rabid dog. Perhaps even less so as they do it intentionally and consciously, whereas rabid dog cannot help himself, right? That is how considerate you should be to that scum. :)

The problem is, no one was able to prove any of these deaths are Putin's work.  Yet it is apparent "common knowledge and Normal Stuff".  Litvinenko was questionable at best and his dad even refuted the claims it was Putin who poisened him.  Yet, people are so close to blaming Putin for everything.

 

This is definately not Putin.  Just days before Nemtsov's "Spring" Revolt, he is shot dead in open public.  Yeah, when Nemtsov was far from popular, maybe less than 1%.  So why would they want him dead?  They don't.  Clearly this was something else as Nemtsov really was no threat to Putin.

A dictator has to kill somebody important from time to time, foe or friend, in order to instill fear.

A dictator trusts nobody

This is quite normal.

 

Next we could have a friend of Putin being killed by Putin himself. Very, very normal.

Looks just like the kind of false flag we had in Syria when the CIA pulled the gas attack when the UN ispectors were just miles away and told everyone Assad did it..  This time we're supposed to believe that Boris Nemtsov was such a threat to Putin that he had him gunned down not far from the Kremlin.

It's just as possible that the CIA had him killed to embarrass Putin and even more possible that Nemtsov was a double agent reporting to the Kremlin and the CIA found out about it and murdered him gang style.

Trust me, people like the late, unlamented Nemtsov have about as much loyalty to the Jewish nation as a snake. They're trying to bump off Netanyahu for the same reason they want Putin gone---namely, he sticks up for his own people's interests, defends them without apology, and tells banksters to FOADIAF if that bothers them.

The Bolsheviks were not Jews. They hated Christianity. Big difference.

Hi. I am a jew. 

Tragic. 

Haven't been reading much of ZH lately, just headlines. 

Thanks for bringing this up. Took a while for the rest of media to put  a spin on this. 

RIP. Boris Nmtsov.

This may force plenty of Russians to consider leaving the country. 

As the result, Russia may become even more radical. Do not see how this will benefit anyone.

Oh well, life. Miss ZH circa 2009. Cheers.

There is no place for economic, political or religious extremism in the world, or in fact, in Nature. Everything that is sustainable is balanced and in equilibrium; any extremes are always absorbed in time by opposing forces until they are tempered and assimilated.

People won't be leaving Russia actually, rather the opposite, unless they are extremists and find that their mismatch with Nature there, is better served with a bunch of other extremists, which it won't be of course, because a bigger blob of negativity, gets mopped up with a bigger sponge of positivity.

You'll see Russia moving away from the 'debt-funded import-consumerism' extremist economic model to one of equilibrium  - 'effort-funded balanced-trade', with China, India, Iran and all the other not-Western economies not running that extremist model since the 1970s.

If you want to make some good trades, invest in MICEX companies that will benefit, such as defence exporters, commodity miners and explorers, plus emerging Russian technology, particularly space and rail.

Putin is obvious & in play as a known political adversary. We know the Globalist's want to replace Putin. Seems like a good way to incite the left / 5th Column & get them going & make Putin the patsy. On the other hand it may play into Putin's popularity by the rt hard liners / Russian nationalism Strange Days.

Actually, he kept HIS medals. He bought some at a pawn shop and threw those over the fence.

He was right, though, about 'nam being a farce.

He did go, though, so I will give him that, but I think his primary impetus was aimed towards launching a political career.

People with knowledge write that this murder is non professional. Killers shoot once into the body to immobilise the victim then shoot it into the head to kill surely. They don't spend the whole gun magazine. Additionally, from some couple of meters only the half of the bullets found the body of the victim, so it theoretically might survive. Killers don't leave direct witnesses alive. The lady who accompanied Nemtsov is intact and now is debriefed by the police about the murderers. Knowing that latter was a public person and if didn't have personal guards, at least enters premises and meets people who do have, most probably murderers followed the young lady that night. She met Nemtsov in a central mall in Moscow downtown. Then they walked down the bridge where murderers intercepted them. The young lady was 24 yo Ukrainian model from Kiev Anna Duritskaya.

Regardless this is the centre of the Capital, there were no security cameras installed on the top of the bridge to witness the murder scene. Notably, right in the middle of the night there appeared to be lots of citizens bringing flowers to there. It's very difficult to find live flowers in deep Moscow February night, and they're very expensive in general.

People directly link this murder with the planned opposition meeting on 1 March.

Apparently, you're absolutely right. Another source:

Witnessed the murder of politician Boris Nemtsov was the 23-year-old well-known model from Ukraine Anna Duritskaya.

According to a source REN TV, and it Nemtsov became a close relationship that lasted for 4 years. The girl told operatives that Nemtsov repeatedly shot a man jumped out of a white foreign cars.

Message about the shooting in the Greater Moscow River bridge to enter the service of "02" at 23:38 on Friday 27th of February. Arrived on the scene police found the body on the sidewalk 55-year-old Boris Nemtsov. The investigation did not rule out that the murder was linked to jealousy.

http://ren.tv/novosti/2015-02-28/svidetelnicey-ubiystva-nemcova-stala-iz...

Update from the same site:

Activist of "Solidarity" movement associate Nemtsov, Ilya Yashin said that recently Boris received anonymous threats on social networks. However, the politician did not pay attention to them and always walked without security guards, informs "Interfax".

Lawyer of the family also stated that Nemtsov received threats in recent times in the social networks. Vadim Prokhorov even said that in this context they applied to the law enforcement bodies, but the latter denied this information.

Possible motives:

1)Looks like part of a  "Russian Spring" Racket by those who wish to smear Team_RUS.

2)Inside job - internal Power Play withing the Liberal/Western-Vassal/EU/NATO/ISR Factions.

3)Crimeans, Crimean Sympathizers, UKR Escapees/Victims&Associates.

And so on.

With Mr. Putin having an 86%+ Approval Rating, it doesn't make sense for a "Jewish Opposition" Politician ranting about changing the Country to be more Europe-friendly, when ZioCons in the US are behind much of the grief and the "attempted Isolation" going on against Russia.

I think people (especially Russians and Americans) are starting to get a better picture as to who the  players are; and aren't too keen to having Neocon and "3rd Party" NationState types control the Show in their respective Nation-States.

No offense; but no non-native Ethnic/Political Groups will be able to turn Russia into another version of the "thief-and-parasite-ridden" USA.

The Jewish already HAVE their Country - "ISRa-El".  With regards to Political Agendas - Jewish desires to lead on Nation-State levels are better served within ISR.  We're starting to see an "over representation in certain areas of Nation-State Leadership" here in the USA; and it's not going to be an accepted way of life for long.

E.g., Using 2000 Census Data (as I can Recall) Supreme Court.  3 Jewish(3-4% of Pop_USA, ergo 0-1 Seat), 6 Catholics (25% of Pop_USA, ergo 2-3 Seats).  No Protestants (50% of Pop, 4-5 Seats), No "other/non-affiliated/secular"(21-22%ish, 2-3 Seats).

I personally prefer that our Chief Justices be comprised of National Ethnic/Religious Cross-Section of sorts.

You need to read and research who really was behind the Bolshevik Revolution, and you'll get an insight into the motive forces behind all Western-centric economies, societies and real history.

We are seeing the same process today that was started several hundred years ago, history is cyclic and intentionally so, written and controlled by our true owners and for their sole benefit.

It is difficult to find truth, but when you see enough lies, half-truths, false flags and propaganda and when the same entities benefit from these cyclic events, it's easy to see the truth as clearly as you can experience it yourself.

You should spend some time in Russia, it is far from socialist; if anything it is too capitalist and that will be tempered over time with some social balancing.

The Western economic model of 'debt-funded import-consumerism', started in the 1970s and used to suck wealth upwards and outwards from the 99% to the 1%, was embraced by Russia, but since the 2014 sanctions started, that model is being correctly replaced with 'effort-funded balanced-trade', which will bring back wealth creation from the bottom up, as it should.

Actually I'm talking about Russia today and from the last ten years or so, the Putin period.

I first went there in 2007 and debt-funded import-consumerism (DFIC) was well established, I last went after the sanctions had just been started in August 2014 and I noticed things were already changing, with an obvious move from West to East, particularly car imports.

Unfortunately, apart from noticeable import substitutions that must have been happening well before the Kiev putsch, Russia seemed to be still in the thick of the DFIC model, but I noticed the rot had already set it - loads of empty and unsold apartments at high prices, less consumer footfall, fewer small businesses, higher prices and a general feeling of recession already.

Next time I go, I'll be interested to see what effects the sanctions are having and what changes from the DFIC model are being made, if any. As a tourist the exchange rate will be good, but I suspect inflation will take most of that benefit away.

I like your moniker, but I hope you realize the US has essentially been taken over by Fabian thought since before Wilson's presidency. The CFR being the current iteration of the US branch - and look at how many key positions are, and have been, filled by CFR's. Putin is a socialist, but really no more than the 'leaders' of this nation if you honestly assess it.

Do yourself a favor and read up on some of this. Some of introductory texts would be 'The Creature from Jekyll Island', 'The Great Deformation', 'Body of Secrets', 'Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World in Our Time' (would be unknown to almost all had not some alert Birchers read it and understood it), etc. Read up on the February and October revolutions in 1917 Russia and the events and financiers of those events. How the Bolshevist coup occurred in one night with like 3 casualties, but changed history for the worst.

It may open your eyes a bit.

There is a small group of people that have no loyalty to any nation or any cause except for their own cause - attaining massive wealth and power. These people finance all participant in wars, they have no regard for the human condition, and no compassion. Oh, they sell their utopias as great saviors of mankind in the most cynical ways possible.

Putin is no angel, but he is no worse, and perhaps even better than these of whom I speak.

In an interview to a Russian newspaper "Sobesednik" less than 3 weeks ago, Nemtsov claimed Putin was going to kill him "for talking bad about Putin".

http://sobesednik.ru/politika/20150210-boris-nemcov-boyus-togo-chto-puti...

But most of all she [Nemtsov's mother] worries not about Ukraine but Putin. Every time I call her, she laments: "When you stop to scold Putin? He will kill you!" And this in all seriousness.

Her attitude to Putin is, of course, very bad - I'm her son, after all. Mom always accustomed me to the fact that it is necessary to defend my point of view, to be independent and self-sufficient. For good or bad so I raised, and now outraged that I scold Putin, who is trying to take away freedom from me and you. She is really afraid that he might kill me in the near future because of my performances - both in real life and in social networks. And this, again, is not a joke: she is a wise woman. She is very afraid of this. She is very worried about Khodorkovsky (she had seen him before prison and was friends with him) and Navalny , but for them not so much because she is my mother, and not theirs.
