(Excerpt) Read more at bbc.co.uk ...
Well, folks...
This just got a HELL of a lot more interesting:
Russian Markets
“Boris Nemtsov was walking together with a woman who came recently from Kiev. She is detained - Police”
heh. That was supposed to be a reply on another thread. oops.
The Ukrainians killed Nemtsov to stick it to Putin. That's the ticket. That's what my wife Morgan Fairchild says, anyways.
Please stop with the slander. Nemtsov wasn't murdered - he was sent to a better place. /s
Damned. Moscow under Putin is getting like Chicago under Rahm Emanuel. Looks like one comrade learned his lessons well from the other. The Chicago Way. The Moscow Way. Same, same.
Yup.
tcrlaf,
Just reading two of your posts I can see you are a propagandist.
To be ignored.
For one, tcrlaf
Everything you write is purposeful disinformation.
“Just reading two of your posts I can see you are a propagandist.”
I guess asking yourself WHO GAINS from a dead, mostly marginalized opposition figure found dead on the street, just steps away from the Kremlin wall, in the present world situation, would just be too much, right??
I’ll say it again:
WHO GAINS FROM THIS?
FROM RT:
“Famous Russian politician Boris Nemtsov has been shot dead in the center of Moscow, according to Tass news agency.
“Boris Nemtsov was shot four times in the center of Moscow at Vasilyevsky spusk. Investigation team is working at the scene,” Tass reports siting police sources.
Nemtsov served as Russian deputy prime minister under former President Boris Yeltsin. Though he was more involved in business than politics in recent years, Nemtsov voiced opposition to President Vladimir Putin, criticizing the government and its policies. Since 2012, he co-chaired the pro-business party RPR-PARNAS (Republican Party of Russia – People’s Freedom Party).
Nemtsov’s assassination comes just one day ahead of the Vesna (“Spring”) opposition rally slated for March 1 in Moscow.
According to police, Nemtsov was accompanied by a woman at the time of the murder. She is now being questioned.
“B. Nemtsov was walking on Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge with a visitor from Ukraine. It was then when he was shot from a passing by car,” the ministry’s official representative, Elena Alekseeva, said, as quoted by Rossiya 24 TV channel.
“The woman who was with him is currently being interrogated in a police department,” Alekseeva said.”
MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW...
Who gained from Litvenko being killed? Who gained from that airline going down? Who gained from Politkovskaya being killed, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Anna_Politkovskaya#Assassination She and Litvenenko had more than one attempt on their lives.

So at the least, a real pattern to hear “WHO BENEFITS?”
Also, a lot of fairly innocent types end up in jail over there, not just your hard core criminals but probably those who are not really committing much of a crime. Self-Employed and Small Businessmen are in jail over there for not following government regulations hence, this benefits the upper class elitist types. Probably those with some dissent as well.
Highest prison rate in Europe and yes, our rate is higher.
Maybe I should rephrase my question:
Who are the local Putin fans on this website that you are referring to?
Hope that clarified my previous questions........thank you
THE GUY FEARED FOR HIS LIFE,
maybe walking near somewhere like the Kremlin, he felt he should be at least, a bit safe... how about that?? Vs. say some cafe.
I think most of it more contrasting Putin with our joke of a President.
