Boris Nemtzov



We don't know who gave the order to murder Boris Nemtzov.

Here is what we do know:

1. In the past Russian government didn't shy away from breaking the law to compromise Nemtzov. FSB recorded his cellphone conversations and published extracts containing swearing.

2. When Putin murders out of vengeance, he likes to leave a clue that it was him so that he can present it as a lesson to others. Po-210 was used to murder Litvinenko.

Nemtzov was murdered right next to the Kremlin. That would have been very hard for someone without access to Nemtzov's communications and knowledge of his route; ordinary criminals usually kill targets on the porch of the target's dwelling.

3. For that matter, professionals wouldn't select the constantly monitored center of Moscow, unless they had reasons to believe they won't be punished.

The murderer of Litvinenko is an MP in the Russian Duma.

Russian press is also using a healthy dose of antisemitism used to support their conspiracy theories: "Любимая идея покойного Бориса Абрамовича - завалим Васю, чтобы подумали на Колю" http://www.kp.ru/daily/26348.7/3230402/

Oops.

Dick Stanley said...

As the American coppers like to say, there are usually only three possible motives for murder: money, drugs and/or sex. Of course, this ain't the USA.

Me? Sued by GG? Never, I always thought that he is a dearest and loves Jooz best.

But if he is in a financial bind, I am ready to contribute. About 10 agorot... in installments.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Oh, forgot to notify you, Dick, and other Texans about that story. Made my day, frankly...

Dick Stanley said...

Puty's critics do have a way of dying suddenly, don't they?

peterthehungarian said...

I'm ready to contribute a 10 shekel coin. He doesn't like me so hopefully will wipe his whatever with it.

Sennacherib said...

Well Snoop,
Texans just don't believe that the above is proper attire before 10pm in public. It's just not done, well maybe on 6th Street in Austin during SXSW, but only until 2am.

BHCh said...

They sure do. Some Russians are defending Putin though: "why would he kill Nemtsov, when he can put anyone behind bars at his whim"?

Dick Stanley said...

Glad to be of service.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Yep. Let's call it force major, to use the lawyerspeak.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Largess as that must be awarded...

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Yes, besides it makes concealed carry impossible.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Well, this is a valid defense, I would dare say. Of a kind.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

;-)

Sennacherib said...

Quite right, though George shouldn't worry, he has little to conceal.

This is just another provocation from the US mafia.. A lider with 86% vote will only be shooting his leg by killink a 5% candidate..

SnoopyTheGoon said...

That's true too ;-)

SnoopyTheGoon said...

"provocation from the US mafia."

Where did you read it, Arshvsky - Pravda or Izvestiya?

Another guess: you are most probably among these 86%. Stay there. That way you will be best protected from Amercan mafia and from жидобандеровцы.

Benoit said...

You forgot one fact : since the 240 years they exist, the USA regularly overthrow governments all over the world, either militarily or with the help of the 5th column they have in nearly each country. I wonder why this is every time a surprise for some people who persist not to see the evidence.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Evidence? Interesting, can you expand on it?

BHCh said...

Are you saying that Putin is 5th column installed by the USA? You might be onto something...

SnoopyTheGoon said...

;-)

Nah, Benoit is not of the kind that comes to argue his/her points, he/she is of that other kind...
