The Death of Boris Nemtsov

Many say it is a suicidal job and it will be his

last political post says Pavel Chichagov


,
director of the Epicenter consulting firm. He
confirms that Boris Nemtsovs job was suicidal
because not only was he the deputy prime
minister, he was also a sharp critic, he wanted
Russian people to have the right to democracy
and liberty under the rule of law and and an end
to corruption. Boris Nemtsov was assassinated
on February 27, 2015 in Moscow. For his death
there are different theories of why he was killed.
In the World News it states, The committee,
which reports to Putin, said the killing could be
linked with events in Ukraine or have been
carried out by radical Islamist.

In the BBC News it says that recently, a man called


Zaur Dadayev and Anzor Gubashev confessed that
they were the murderers of Nemtsov and were both
charged on Sunday
.
After the reporters visited the
suspects, Mr. Babushkin told them that there
were reasons to believe Zaur Dadayev confessed
under torture. He had ma qrks of handcuffs and
ropes around the his legs, and told him he had been
tortured with electricity. During the time they were
with Zaur he had showed them multiple injuries
while he was being captured in Ingushetia on
Saturday. When Zaur went to court it he said he
had admitted only to protect a friend, but later a
spokesman called Kremlin had dismissed reports
on Wednesday
that President Putin had been told
who organised Mr. Nemstovs killing.

Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for the committee,


said Nemtsov had received threats in connection
with his position on the Charlie Hebdo shooting in
paris last month. Charlie Hebdo is a
French
satirical magazine and was attacked by gunmen,
who have killed 12 people at its Paris offices.
Nemtsov has probably the same enemies as Charlie
because of their similar work.

The Conflict Between Russia and


Ukraine

Mr. Putin isnt just killing Ukrainian people,


several Russian people will soon suffer the
consequences because of starvation and
dehydration. In The New York Times Vladimir
says We will survive any hardship in the
country, eat less food, use less electricity.
Maybe using less electricity isnt going to hurt
you, but eating less will cause a bigger conflict
with the people of his country, and instead for
fighting for something that is not his, he should
help the people that are in his country.

In Russia, President Vladimir Putin wants to


take over some of the Ukrainian territory, which
is called Crimea. One sixth of Ukrainian people
have some Russian blood. During the time that
he has been trying to take over, Mr. Putins
army has killed at least 36 people everyday,
saying that it is all for self defense.
Ukraine and

Russia for the moment are in a limited conflict,


but at any moment anything can happen to
spark the war between each other. This conflict
could become worse because other than the war,
there might be another possibility which is it
could affect other countries and bring in the
United States and European Union to fight.
These two powerful countries wont be there to
help Russia but will be helping the Ukrainians.

This will become more tragic since the US and Russia
have already been through some disagreements before.
In my opinion, what Vladimir Putin is doing is an
invasion and he needs to either talk out a reasonable
solution or stop with his unnecessary actions that are
hurting other people. Mr. Putin says he is just
protecting the Ukrainian people, but he is killing
