Popular Russian Political Activist: Who Killed Boris Nemtsov and Why?
In each story there is always a beneficiary. In politics, nothing happens "just like that". And even more so, no political assassinations happen "just like that".

The events that happened back then are very similar to the circumstances of the murder of Boris Nemtsov. Several mysterious deaths of the “opposition" leaders took place one after another, for which Western media and our "freedom fighters" instantly accused Russia and Vladimir Putin personally. First mystery in this series of deaths was the death of Alexander Litvinenko in London, ostensibly from "polonium poisoning".
The murder was committed in a manner that no sane criminal would apply. Polonium "path" leads directly to Alexander Lugovoi, whose extradition was requested by the United Kingdoms in violation of Russian Constitution. UK receives denial and in turn flatly refuses to provide the investigation materials to Russia in order to prosecute suspect in Russian Federation if need be. The second part of the show - the ritual murder of Politkovskaya on Putin's birthday.
Yet again, we see an amazing thing - Litvinenko, who could no longer speak, suddenly whispered to his lawyer that Putin is guilty of his death. In Politkovskaya's case, from the media coverage it immediately becomes apparent to all “progressive democratic community" here and there that poor woman was killed as per Putin’s order.
Almost six years passed since then - there is still no single evidence of the Russian authorities involvement in Litvinenko's death. Neither there is trial, nor sentencing. All the information was limited to hysteria and unsubstantiated allegations. Throughout 2009-2010, all liberals and all the Western media were simply screaming of Russia's and its President's quilt in the death of Litvinenko. And Politkovskaya, too.
In order to completely understand the death of Nemtsov, we also have to recall the circumstances of the death that nearly happened around the same time in 2009 ... Yegor Gaidar.
Let me remind you: that very day after the death of Alexander Litvinenko in London took place, in a close proximity, in Ireland, Yegor Gaidar suddenly fell ill from an unexplained disease. The symptoms of the disease that struck him looked like a classic poisoning: severe vomiting and nose bleeding for 35 minutes.
Yet another crime of "bloody regime" there, right? But something went wrong - the victim survived. Where the ex-prime minister should find himself afterwards? After what happened to Litvinenko? Of course in the best hospital of the United Kingdom, under heavy guard of incorruptible British police. But Gaidar knows better. Barely recovering himself, the very next morning (!) he demanded to be sent home immediately. He instantly left for Moscow, not even waiting for the results of his medical tests.
If we assume, like Western media did, that it was an assassination attempt by Russian secret service, then Gaidar's actions are close to idiocy. Instead of staying in a democratic country, where he supposedly would be protected, rather then staying in the first-class London clinic, Yegor fled to Russia, closer to the very "bloody regime" that has just supposedly organized his poisoning. Why? To minimize his supposed killers' efforts?
Should we continue to consider Western media version, then Gaidar's behavior would seem totally strange to us. And vice versa - it all becomes logical and reasonable if we give up on it. Gaidar was well aware that a campaign to discredit Russia had launched and adding his name to the list of the mysteriously dead "freedom fighters" was not in his plans. To him it was absolutely clear that once he goes to a wonderful London or Dublin hospital, he would never exit it alive. That's exactly why he left to get his treatment in Moscow so quickly and decisively. He knew that only so-called "bloody regime" will keep him perfectly safe.
Upon his arrival to Moscow, Gaidar immediately made a statement that Kremlin had nothing to do with his health problems. Exactly the same statement was made by Anatoly Chubais. There were no other health problems with “Russian reformer". There is no any mystical explanation of what happened to him in Ireland - Gaidar died his natural death much later.
So who needs the death of Russian opposition leaders? For Russian authorities it only brings harm, direct damage. Informational campaigning, allegations, rallying the enemies of the Kremlin, the opportunity for the West to blame and demand, spoiled our image worldwide. Same with the case of Nemtsov’s murder. Poroshenko has already accused Russia in the death of "the best friend of Ukraine" in his interview to Ukrainian TV.
