quote:Boris Nemtsov's death was an appalling crime, but he wasn't the “leader of the Russian opposition” as many Western media outlets claim.
The differences between what Russians regard as the opposition to their government and what Westerners perceive as the Russian opposition will be on incontrovertible display this Tuesday. All 28 EU ambassadors to the Kremlin will reportedly attend Boris Nemtsov’s funeral but Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and his Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev will be absent.
Russians divide the opposition into two distinct groups, the systemic opposition, headed by the Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov and the other opposition, arguably now led by Alexey Navalny. However, Westerners see only the – often erroneously designated – ‘Liberals’ as a legitimate alternative to Putin’s government. This ignores the genuine support for the Communist Party among many Russians who either pine for the perceived glories of the USSR or are sick and tired of the oligarchy.
Putin’s genius has long been to successfully walk a tightrope between the two sides. The systemic opposition favors more totalitarianism and a tougher line against the West. On the other hand, the ‘Liberals’ desire rapprochement with Europe and the US and a return to ‘90s attempts to introduce a liberal democracy.
Boris Nemtsov’s death was appalling. A native of Sochi, the former deputy prime minister was a gregarious bon viveur, with a reputation as a ladies’ man but also one as a thoroughly decent skin. People liked him.
Syria experts turned ‘Russia experts’
However, before his body was cold on Friday night, ‘commentators’ with very little knowledge of Russia were queuing up to use Nemtsov’s murder to fit their own agendas. One, the neocon activist Michael Weiss, completed an investigation into the Moscow killing inside an hour – from New York, something even Kojak or Colombo wouldn’t have tried. Excited by his findings, he appeared on CNN to make a, quite bonkers, comparison between the death of Sergey Kirov in 1934 and that of Nemtsov.
Despite there being hundreds of American journalists in Moscow, CNN decided to bring on – via Skype – a pundit who has never lived in Russia (and knows very little about the country) to discuss a breaking news story in the Russian capital. They might as well have asked me to discuss Nevada’s current weather – in Irish Gaelic, from Sochi – for all the sense it must have made to their viewers.
On Saturday, the BBC hauled out the former head of MI6, John Sawers, twisting his words to say that Russia has become a “danger to Britain.” A great headline and impressive clickbait. Nevertheless, Sawers was actually calling for ”increased dialogue… with a Russia which feels very exposed” in his wide-ranging ‘Today’ program interview.
Making a martyr
The 'Russian threat' brigade was out in force, calling for more sanctions and blaming President Putin for Nemtsov’s murder. I fail to see any conceivable reason why Putin would want an opposition activist shot a few dozen meters from the Kremlin’s walls. The death of Boris Nemtsov is not exactly positive for Putin as it creates instability and provides his adversaries with a kind of martyr.
Not that the government is entirely blameless. My feeling – shared by many others – is that Nemtsov’s death might be Donbass coming to Moscow. Some Nationalist elements among volunteers fighting in Ukraine might be frustrated by what they perceive as insufficient Kremlin support for their cause. As an outspoken critic of Crimea’s reunification with Russia, who was close to Ukraine’s President Poroshenko, Nemtsov would have been an obvious target for their wrath. That said, unlike Weiss, I am proffering a theory, not stating it as fact.
Of course, this runs contrary to the State Department narrative – slavishly followed by Western media – that Russia has invaded Ukraine. To admit that radical elements in Russia actually oppose Putin because he refuses to invade Ukraine would make them all look extremely silly.
On Sunday, June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated at the northern end of the Latin Bridge in Sarajevo. This Friday, February 27, 2015, Boris Nemtsov was murdered while crossing the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge in Moscow. The only thing both crimes have in common is that they happened around bridges.
Of course, the Archduke’s slaying, at the hands of a Serbian nationalist, sparked the Great War. Reading the hysterical reaction of the western mainstream media to the heinous Nemtsov homicide, you’d think something equally as profound is imminent. Relax, it's not – Nemtsov’s days as a political figure of influence expired a long time ago.
Misrepresenting Russia
The Western press, either through genuine ignorance or calculated misrepresentation, consistently paints an erroneous picture of the composition of Russia’s opposition. Fringe activists, most of them conveniently liberal and pro-American, are built up as 'leaders' - ignoring reality.
This tweet by the New York Times’ former Moscow correspondent is a case in point.
The tragic Nemtsov is described as “stepping aside as opposition (sic) leader.” There’s a big problem here, Nemtsov was never the leader of the Russian opposition nor, latterly, even a significant player. Rather, he was a former Kremlin insider. A deputy prime minister - in Boris Yeltsin’s cabinet – his career never recovered from the 1998 economic crash which did for the 1990s neo-liberal ‘reformers’ who are generally loathed in Russia.
Nemtsov was a decent person who stood up for what he believed in. He didn’t deserve to die on a cold Moscow bridge on Friday night. While he was far from being the “leader of Russia’s opposition,” he played a role in Russia’s post-Soviet development. The 1998 economic crisis destroyed his political ambitions but he refused to give up. May he rest in peace.

Die 'sneeuwschuiver' is nu ook goed in beeld. Het lijkt alsof zowel de vluchtauto als de sneeuwschuiver stil staan. Het is moelijk te zien, maar dit lijkt het moment dat de schutter in de vluchtauto springt.quote:Op woensdag 4 maart 2015 13:28 schreef computergirl het volgende:

Met die "politieke tegenstanders" bedoelt men voornamelijk journalisten. Men vergeet daarbij dat ook journalisten werkend voor staatszenders gedood worden in Rusland.quote:Op dinsdag 3 maart 2015 19:30 schreef Nintex het volgende:

(Reuters) - Two suspects have been detained over the killing of Boris Nemtsov, Russian officials said, a week after he was shot dead near the Kremlin in the most high-profile killing of an opposition figure in years.
The Investigative Committee, the state body leading the investigation, named the two men as Anzor Gubashev and Zaur Dadayev. Russian President Vladimir Putin had been informed of the detentions, officials said.
"The individuals detained are, according to our investigation, involved in the organization and execution of the killing of Boris Nemtsov," the committee said in a statement.

Boris Nemtsov murder suspect Zaur Dadayev's mother has rejected the charges brought against her son and nephews.
"I was informed today that my son Zaur Dadayev had been detained on suspicion of involvement in Boris Nemtsov's murder. I can't believe it. He could not have committed this crime," Aaimani Dadayeva told Interfax on Saturday.
She said her son had served in the Chechen law enforcement agencies for the past ten years, including in Battalion North.
"My son and my nephews are adults. They are over 30. I don't believe they could have committed such a crime. My nephews, the Kubachevs, have been working in Moscow. I have not heard anyone say they were involved in illegal deals," Dadayeva said.
She also said that her son had been fighting against the Wahhabis and criminal armed groups with law enforcement services. "He served honestly to the Fatherland. He could not have committed such a crime," she said.
http://www.telegraph.co.u(...)-Nemtsov-murder.htmlquote:Ilya Yashin, an opposition activist and friend of Mr Nemtsov, said of the detained men that it was “difficult to say whether these were the real executors [of the murder] or the investigation has been sent down the wrong track”, but he acknowledged that the security service apparently had some evidence to prove their guilt.
“It’s extremely important that the case doesn’t just stop with the shooters, whether they are the real killers or not,” he added. “The key task is to find and detain those who ordered it.”
