attributable to Moskvoretsky Bridge to commemorate Nemtsov shared with RBC their feelings .
An activist with a poster “A Hero Never Dies»:
Nemtsov went without protection, could appear in the subway, handing out leaflets out of stock “Strategy-31″. He knew that fighting for a just cause. I am 50 years old, I still remember the Soviet Union, and, of course, the transition to a new country could not happen smoothly. I think people now begin to understand what is happening in the country.
Maria, 75 years:
Nemtsov was a very good man. I remember in the 90s it was very supportive Yeltsin, wanted him to become president, and we just wanted to vote for him. Nemtsov was very gifted, I know that. It is not known how to live Russia, whether the head of state. Maybe even worse than now. His death – sorrow for all of us.
The founder of an international movement diggers in Russia Vadim Mikhailov:
It’s hard on the background of the death of something to say, consider different versions. But podzemschikov always has its own version. As the killers never found, we hypothesized that they could go to the underground city. He is very extensive, not always controlled, it is the legacy of our past. We have already fulfilled their, checked the underground structure between the charge and the Kremlin.
The coordinator of the NGO “Open Russia” Vladimir Kara-Murza:
What happened here last night, it is an act of political terrorism. I hope we find out soon, who immediately pulled the trigger, I hope that these people will be punished. But in fact the trigger pressed, all those who in the past few years, and especially last year injected this wave of propaganda, hysteria, hatred, intolerance and intolerance of dissent, when opponents of the current government called fifth column and national traitors.
Akishin Alexander, 25 years old, works in the field of consulting:
I think there was a murder that has become a symbol of relations of power with the opposition. This case showed that the opportunity for dialogue is closed for good. Now dissenters may be destroyed. In previous years, although the dialogue is also not observed, we are at least not killed.
Olga (come to share with a child):
We have been with child at the theater, then we went out and I told her daughter that yesterday there was a situation which is very important for me. Policy complicated thing, I can not say that was on one side or another, but I respect the position of the man. What happened – shock, horror. I do not watch TV, I learned about it from Facebook. Not to say that the next active activity Nemtsov, but always inclined towards democratic processes and views on society. Democratic system I still closer than totalitarian.
The former Human Rights Ombudsman Vladimir Lukin:
For a quarter century, Nemtsov was a major politician, first in the government, then became the leader of the opposition. He showed exceptional ability, always spoke what he thought, did what he said. He was a free man, he lived in freedom. I would like to make our society heal hatred, then we will have some progress.
