Former World Chess Champion and Politician, Kasparov tweets in the last 30 minutes:

“When we argued, Boris would tell me I was too hasty, that in Russia you had to live a long time to see change. Now he’ll never see it. RIP.”

“Boris’s quality no longer fit Putin’s Russia. He always believed Russia could change from inside without violence; after 2012 I disagreed.”

“Devastated to hear of the brutal murder of my long-time opposition colleague Boris Nemtsov. Shot 4 times, once for each child he leaves.”

“Yeah, I’m reading about it now. There’s no way this won’t be construed as a Putin hit.”

Something about this stinks...

If Putin wanted to go after the “Opposition”, he’d someone effective like Navalniy, not an already largely dismissed and marginalized Nemtsov.

Nemtsov was popular with U.S. and Ukrainian Media because of his war opposition, but he hasn’t been a factor in Russian Politics for a while, it seems.

zerohedge: BORIS NEMTSOV’S KILLING COULD BE ACT OF PROVOCATION, COMMITTED IN THE RUN-UP TO OPPOSITION MARCH SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 1 -IFX

zerohedge: NEMTSOV’S DEATH APPEARS TO BE CONTRACT KILLING - IFX

I assume IFX means Interfax

Old KGB habits are hard to break. Back in the USSR, you don’t know how lucky you are.

Vlad still using KGB tactics; at least when Hussein offs a critic he endeavors to incorporate some "plausible deniability" such as the "heart attack" Andrew Breitbart suffered.

Or like Kasparov alludes to, maybe the Putin-supporters will say the CIA or opposition party did this: https://twitter.com/Kasparov63?original_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rferl.org%2Fcontentlive%2Fliveblog%2F26805126.html&tw_i=563420801786195968&tw_p=tweetembed

That may well be what the RT readers tell us.

I bet you Putin has a alibi. he was busy at the time signing orders for the elimination of his opposition so he could not of done it. it must off been some evil outsider.
