Eduard_456:

The West is connected to his death, which is just another provocation. There is no point for Putin to kill Nemtstov.

He did not present any danger to the Kremlin with his rating of 4-5%. You could perhaps blame the authorities if Navalny was killed, but Nemtsov is not a figure of that magnitude. This is first. And second, if Putin really wanted to kill him, then I am sure as a former KGB agent, he wouldn't work so unprofessionally. For example, Boris Nemtsov would die in a car crash, or from a heart attack, but no one in the Kremlin would think of putting some bullets into him.

By the way, judging by the reaction of Obama and Poroshenko, we can see who benefited from the death of this politician. Also the murder of Nemtsov was denounced by head of MFA of Canada and deputy secretary general of NATO. The last one said, its a loss of freedom for Russia. I am sure, by morning, other Western politicians will join. Please tell me, why is it their business? And would they be so vocal if a communist or nationalist politician was killed? [and they were killed in Ukraine to a complete silence in the West - KR] I am sure, not.

Tertiaroma:

Is junta the mastermind of Nemtsov's murder?

For me it is quite obvious that this is a provocation, totally from the outside - a murder committed either directly by the intelligence services of Ukraine, or in the interests of Ukraine, expressed Pavel Danilin.

So say some analysts, including those who personally knew the opposition activist.

"Young companion of Boris Nemtsov could bring him to the right place at the right time." So says the renowned economist Mikhail Delyagin. He said this on his Twitter account. This version is supported by the political analyst Vitaly Tretyakov.

The girl was used, most likely, blindly, - believes Tretyakov. - She just had to bring him for a walk on a Moscow night to a place where there are few people.

At the time of the murder next to 55 year-old Boris Nemtsov was the 23-year-old native of Kiev, Anna Duritskaya. The girl was taken for questioning by the police. Reportedly, she is the main witness to the murder.
