Investigators said they believed Nemtsov was shot in the back from a car using a Makarov pistol, used by the Russian military and police.
Solved! Go to Solution.

What do make of this? Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov's murder 'meticulously planned'
Politics Russian style.

It is dangerous to be opposing Russian government. The most disturbing part is that Putin has something like 70% support of electorate.

Well Putin says he will be personally taking control of the investigation so justice will be served.
Apparently.
(Hopefully the sarcastic tone comes through in that first line of mine)

I'm not sure what to make of it... my first thought was that Putin had to be involved in it.. but then again was it set up to look that way?
strange old world we live in atm

what do you make of this?
not surprised. nothing new.
"There is already a list of unsolved political murders and attacks in Russia," Amnesty International said.
The brazen assassination is the latest in a string of murders of opposition figures in Putin's 15 years in power and recalls the shooting of anti-Kremlin reporter Anna Politkovskaya, gunned down on Putin's birthday in October 2006.

Not so much a 'job' as a mindset. Once KGB always KGB. Dirty hands for a long time.

sounds like a set up to me
not so meticulously planned that they would implicate themselves so easily by the bullets
more likely a backbencher of the opposition on his own ajenda

That's shocking news. Surely Putin wouldn't resort to such a blatant act to eliminate his opposition?
Cant help wondering if it's a triple-bluff by anti-Putin forces in an attempt to discredit him.
Hell of a brutal way to do that though.
