Dina Nemtsova, the 96-year-old mother of slain Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov, died today in Nizhny Novgorod. Boris Nemtsov, a prominent critic of the Kremlin, was murdered near the Kremlin nearly nine years prior to his mother's death on Wednesday. The individuals responsible for organizing his assassination have not been apprehended, with likely suspects now participating in the Ukraine invasion with Chechen battalions. In related news, Vladimir Putin's personal gerontologist, known for his research on extending human life to 120 years, died last month at the age of 77.
They murdered Boris Nemtsov in 2015 — he could have gone anywhere in the West, but he thought his place was in Russia. They have murdered Alexei Navalny. Vladimir Kara-Murza — who worked alongside Nemtsov and is now in an isolation cell in Siberia — still lives. Pray for him.
The better, more charismatic opposition leader, with less problematic views on russian imperialism, was of course Boris Nemtsov - slaughtered near the Kremlin for putin almost exactly 9 years ago (his mum died 2 days ago). I worry for Vladimir Kara-Murza (a UK citizen too). https://t.co/qKJheuHNmA
