A law enforcement source had told the media that the investigating group has evidence that Ukrainian secret services played a role in Nemtsov's murder. ... The investigators are also working on other versions: political, extremist, business, and personal. However, judging by the quality of preparation and implementation, it was done by professionals. The Izvestiya source said that the killer shot Nemtsov only a few tens of meters from the Kremlin, and it since became known that the murder took place in a spot not covered by a surveillance camera. Moreover, they chose a time during which there are no traffic jams, but there is still heavy traffic in the center which allowed the killers' car to become lost among other vehicles.Osmayev's predecessor as leader of the Dzhokhar Dudayev battalion, Isa Munaev, was killed on February 1 in Debaltsevo. In other words, they may have colluded with Kiev in the murder by taking a revenge of sorts against Russia, whom they see as the aggressor in Ukraine.
Here's some more background on Munaev:
The so-called Dzhokhar Dudayev international peacekeeping battalion is fighting on Ukraine's side, and was formed by Munaev in March 2014. Munaev fought in the first Chechen campaign against Russian forces, and after 1999 he declared himself the commander of the South-Western sector and participated in organizing acts of terrorism.Chechen terrorists... ISIS... Where have we seen this before?
Munaev fled Chechnya in 2006 for Denmark, where he received asylum. He founded the movement "Free Caucaus" which, according to secret services, financed terrorists. When in 2014 the Ukrainian government launched the ATO against LPR and DPR, Munaev went to Ukraine and declared the formation of his battalion. Russian sources indicate that he was personally invited Igor Kolomoisky, who financed the battalion. The battalion's core were Chechen immigrants in Denmark, and citizens of other countries who belonged to terrorist organizations.
Isa Munaev was one of the individuals, along with the commanders of Azov and Dnepr, who supported terrorism on Russia's soil and who were ordered delivered to Chechnya by Ramzan Kadyrov.
Russian services are trying to establish how many people participated in the preparation and implementation of Nemtsov's murder. It cannot be ruled out that, in addition to killers and spotters, there were also "controllers" in Moscow who observed the murder's aftermath and political effect. One of them may have been the Ukrainian deputy Aleksey Goncharenko. Experts who were questioned by Izvestiya believe the theory of foreign secret service involvement to have merit.
Meanwhile, details of the murder itself are becoming clearer. It is looking like Nemtsov was under surveillance for the entire day by the killer and accomplices (perhaps 6 or more). Three cars tailed Nemtsov that day and took turns watching him, trading 6 times in total. The killer approached Nemtsov from in front of them, then turned around and opened fire after they had crossed each other's paths:
Nemtsov picked up Duritskaya at the Sheremetyevo airport around 11 a.m. on February 27. Already then their Range Rover was being followed by a Chevrolet. It followed Nemtsov's car almost until Moscow, where it was replaced by the next car. The second car followed Nemtsov almost to his home on Malaya Ordinka.This contradicts media reports that Duritskaya denied being able to see the killer, and suggests that the killers did not plan to kill him on the bridge, but perhaps closer to the Kremlin. When Nemtsov changed plans, so did his killers.
In the evening, the criminals "accompanied" Nemtsov to the GUM where they saw him dismiss his chauffeur. Then it became clear that he would be returning on foot to his apartment on Malaya Ordynka. The external surveillance established over Nemtsov then gave the killer group [the ability] to occupy their positions when Boris and Anna left Bosco Café around 23:22.
The car in which both the killer and his driver were sitting was parked on a side street. It made a U-turn around 23:29 under the Bolshoy Moskvoretskiy bridge, slowly approached the stairs, where the killer got out of the car. By that time Nemtsov and Duritskaya were already on the bridge. The killer waited for them on the stairs. He came out in front of them, passed them, then turned around and at 23:31 he shot Nemtsov in the back six times. Four of the bullets struck him, one of them struck Nemtsov's heart and killed him.
By that time the car which was supposed to pick up the killer had already reached the crime scene. The killer only had to run out into the street and sit in the front passenger seat. Part of the killer's vehicle route after departing the crime scene was reconstructed using video surveillance recordings.
Lastly, there is this: speculation that Nemtsov may have in fact been an agent for the Kremlin. It's an interesting hypothesis, and worth reading. Essentially, if Nemtsov was a double agent who had successfully infiltrated the U.S.-backed fifth-column 'opposition', and if he was 'outed' as such after feeding false information to Kiev, resulting in the humiliating defeat in Debaltsevo, the CIA would have good reason to 'take him out':
With specific regard to Nemtsov - his passionate rhetoric was more amusing and seemed like a game, not sharp, but deliberately ridiculous. It's as if he specifically chose completely implausible accusations against his opponents that look ridiculous in the eyes of the Russian public. And though long and strong ties of Boris Nemtsov with the United States are not to be questioned, his behavior was somehow not American. This is not the style of State Department - he has no malice, nor aggression, nor inhuman cold pragmatism of the New World.A more likely variant of that theory does away with speculation about Nemtsov 'passing specific information to the Kremlin about Debaltsevo' - he could simply have come to an arrangement with the Kremlin - at some point in recent years - to just continue as normal so as not to alert foreign intelligence to his having been 'turned'. Alas, this ruse may have been sussed out or suspected, at which point there was 'no love lost' in martyring Nemtsov for the 'Western liberal cause'.
I wonder why he was not corrected? Where were all his speechwriters and image-makers? Why his friends-liberals did not push him away, if he could not cope with the responsibility to discredit the government, and Putin in particular? I think, if not the opposition itself, then its American owners should have long ago gotten rid of the politician, who showed them in an unfavorable light.
However, according to relatives and friends, Boris Efimovich was not a naive critic of the Kremlin. Why would he be? Education of a physical scientist in any case provides a good logical basis and sober thinking. Besides, after a long and varied political career, he should have gained some experience. But then such attacks in the spirit of the offended third grader are hardly the fault of Nemtsov - it seems that he, mildly speaking, was playing a fool on purpose. Such a teenage style, which painted an overall very primitive level of the Russian opposition, was chosen not accidentally.
Pay attention to the sincerity of grief over the death of Boris Nemtsov. The crowd on the bridge and the mountain of flowers is genuine. On the background of a general dislike of liberals, who, are often, deservedly so, considered collaborators, compassion expressed for Nemtsov, killed under explicitly political circumstances, suggests that his anti-government position is not so simple - people cannot be deceived. The true traitor of the Motherland will not have so much sympathy.
...
Hardly a politician with such experience as Nemtsov, could easily bite on a fake model beauty, and even from Ukraine. Of course, a honey trap could work. But to sit with her in a café in the open, and then walk the streets in downtown Moscow - why so openly demonstrate your relationship to the public? Most likely, the girl promised some sort of "extremely important" information about the next Kiev provocation, which she could not share in the walls of an apartment or office. Then asked for a meeting in a public place. Very naturally.
By the way, if you didn't notice, the information about the activities of Nemtsov in connection with the Ukrainian crisis began to leak online only after his death. According to experts, it is not very clear in what capacity he appeared in Kiev. The fact of his engagement in such a serious business testifies to a rather high profile of Boris Nemtsov, and certainly not about his stupidity.
Let's start with the fact that such a well-known and strongly associated with America politician would simply be blocked from access to Kiev, if he really could somehow interfere there with the interests of Russia. In connection with the war in Novorossia, which is already for a year hanging on the brink of WWIII, Putin is playing an incredibly fragile game on the edge of a razor blade, not allowing the warring parties to slip into fiery chaos. And anyone who decided to rudely interrupt and disturb the delicate balance would be dealt with not now, but a year ago or even earlier. Hence, Nemtsov's visit to Kiev and his "friendship" with Poroshenko in fact did not contradict the Russian political discourse.
Then why did he take on such a strange task - for many years to represent a character, which is likely to appeal to the Ukrainian rulers? Essentially, he played the role of major politician from Russia, who, being in opposition to the government really wants to help the "emerging Kiev democracy"; the role of sincere opponent and a personal enemy of the Russian President (remember his behavior at the beginning of 2012). Even the level of his statements has been adjusted specifically for the lowered - by the Western psychotherapists - intelligence of ukra-idiots.
It turns out, for example, that Boris Efimovich simply played Poroshenko about the "evidence of the presence of Russian military in Ukraine". A perfect excuse to enter the trust circle - of course, the junta immediately got on the hook of such a valuable informant. So far such evidence has not even been provided by the CIA. Why would Nemtsov suddenly have it? It turns out that he deliberately deceived the Kiev authorities. The only explanation - it was a good disguise to infiltrate behind enemy lines. The result is known to all: the defeat of the Ukrainian troops, ending of hostilities and the Minsk agreement, meaning fiasco of the State Department policy in Ukraine.
From all the above, it follows that Nemtsov's actions, judging by their results, were not at all directed against Putin. But then all of his emotional criticisms addressed to the President, mysterious trips to Kiev, contacts with overseas partners and their proteges was only a smokescreen. The real activities of Boris Nemtsov were carried out under the opposite ideological banner. And his true goals look in a completely different light:
1. Discrediting the Russian opposition.
2. Embedding in the midst of the Kiev junta, which led to the failure of the American mission in Ukraine.
There may only be one conclusion: the staunch opposition leader Boris Nemtsov actually was an agent and an informer of the Kremlin.
His murder was not a sacrifice to accuse Putin, although, of course, our "friends" will not miss such an opportunity. This is not to scare the poorly performing liberals, although the murder must play this role as well. After several failures in Ukraine and in the activities of the fifth column, the foreign intelligence agencies finally found the "mole" and realized that Nemtsov actually worked for the Kremlin, passing back information directly from the camp of the enemy and preventing provocations.
The inglorious end of the ATO, the success of Minsk, the failure of the Russian Maidan - is largely to his credit. The stupid behavior of Ukrainian generals is explained not only by their incompetence, but also by the false information about Russian intentions supplied to them. To supply them with fakes of such level could only be done by a prominent Russian politician, whom the junta fully trusted. And when our American competitors learned about it, of course, they were furious and brutally murdered the agent under their nose, who was one of the most true friends of Putin.
Now it is obvious why for a leading role of a seasoned opposition leader was nominated such a safe figure, without a political weight. Most likely, Nemtsov quite a long time ago was just slipped to the fifth column and the Western and American intelligence agencies, standing behind it. And embedded him in terms of his "proximity to the Emperor". That is, the game was not double, but triple. Of course, it went on for quite a long time. And, of course, even the closest people were not aware of it.
The immediate cause of the murder - the involvement of Nemtsov in the next provocation. His proximity to the government showed the enemy how to use him to strike at the heart of the Kremlin. The ideological basis of the next plot was a disagreement of quite high-ranking figures with the Russian foreign policy course and the resulting inevitable economic reforms. Not everyone has unconditionally accepted import substitution, the apparent pivot to the state control and a return to some socialist principles of the social structure. However, Nemtsov, according to his relatives, was in principle against any radical solutions and bloody massacres. He was trying to prevent another, clearly failed provocation, dissuading his liberal colleagues. This caused suspicion from his curators, a thorough investigation and ruthless elimination.
Nemtsov was killed on the background of the Kremlin towers, in order to first, show that he was outed, and secondly, to demonstrate that the next one may be someone behind the Kremlin walls.
The genuine sorrow and indignation of the Russian authorities is clear - they know who really was Nemtsov and why he died. The loss of such a devoted colleague, especially associated with the most significant projects of the enemy, in such a dangerous time is irreplaceable. The cries of the Kiev junta are understandable: the puppets will not be notified of the master's affairs.
This article is largely inspired by the need to rehabilitate the good name of Boris Nemtsov. Often for truth and honesty you have to pay the highest price - life. Unfortunately, in such cases, only death breaks the veil of mystery and remains the only argument in favor of the truth, but not always.
It's like a spiders web for control of the minds of the people, the sheep that will get behind anything that is a popular movement, those that don't think, those that follow the alpha male, those that want to subvert the minds of the humanity to follow the "Pied Piper" .
It is the "Great Game", just like the Barnum and Baily Circus. "The Greatest Show on Earth" We all get a ringside seat.
And nobody knows where the next performance will be.....Well maybe somebody knows, the "Ringmaster" but he is not telling anybody.
