“We start with the issue of Russia. In the center of Moscow was the brutal murder of well-known critic of Putin” – after one of the phrases on foreign viewers can hear nothing and do not look – it is all explained.
The new reaction from the White House to kill the main political opponent of Vladimir Putin, and video such that the frame – all the stereotypes about Russia in the West, some sverhutrirovannom, concentrated version: bandit country in which people are being killed right on Red Square on the eve of an opposition rally.
Newspaper headlines are not far behind: “Fear enveloped Russia following the assassination of Putin critic,” “The West insists on a speedy investigation into the murder of Putin critic”.
The global reaction – from European leaders to the UN Secretary General . One of the first comments coming, of course, from the United States.
“The United States condemns the brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov and calling on the Russian authorities to conduct a prompt, impartial and transparent investigation into the circumstances of the murder, so that those responsible are brought to justice” – Barack Obama said.
So far, the West arranged the evaluation and labeled as Russian president Putin sent condolences to the mother Nemtsov.
“Please accept my deepest condolences on the irreparable loss. I sincerely share befallen you grief. Boris Nemtsov left his mark in the history of Russia, in politics and public life. He fell to work on important positions in the difficult transition period for our country. He always openly and honestly stated his position, defended his point of view. Everything will be done to the organizers and executors of the vile and cynical murder are punished, “- said in a condolence message.
Of course, Nemtsov was well known in Western political circles as an active participant in meetings non-system opposition. But even in these vast Moscow rallies collected only tens of thousands of people, and it was obvious that the time has passed Nemtsov in the 90s, when he was really one of the most popular, well-known and influential politicians in the country. Perhaps the first video footage with his participation – 1991 rallies in support of Yeltsin.
He graduated from high school with honors, University – with honors, and only 32 of the year – an unprecedented event – became the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region – Yeltsin thanked him for his support. So purely regional policy has not been from the beginning. This is not only a favorite of the federal government, but even Western prime ministers.
Nemtsov feels the needs of society to change, able to work with the media, although the word “PR” then no one really knew knows and feels how to please voters, especially voters.
He’s not afraid to come to the workers of enterprises and stopped to talk to them, is not afraid to argue with those who argue seemed to be impossible.
Nemtsov reanimates Gorky Automobile Plant, revives the Nizhniy Novgorod fair, positioning itself unconditional Democrat, though many accuse him of authoritarianism.
He finally goes to the federal political level. Yeltsin appointed his first deputy head of the government, and then even the Kremlin journalists Nemtsov called “prince”.
The first initiatives and actions Nemtsov perceived as a fresh breeze, but emanates from them, of course, and populism. It requires a transplant of all officials to “Volga”, and strict Heydar Aliyev’s coming to meet in white pants.
“It’s just disrespectful – recalled former Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin. – Late evening comes Chubais and asks Victor S., and what are we, in the “Volga” transplanted? I say, in what sense? Who are we, all the government? Where did you get that? He said, well, how? Nemtsov arrived in Nizhny Novgorod and the airport said that all Government is transplanted to the “Volga”. Then he arrives a day or two, comes like a beaten Viktor Stepanovich, I would probably not say. Why not? That’s you and peresyadesh on “Volga”, and we will drive for Mercedes “.
The government is betting on young reformers young and promising. Germans are trying to be what is called her boyfriend. But the vast majority of countries believe and feel that everything is exactly the opposite. Millions of people are sitting for months without pensions, salaries, from despair to block roads and Trans-Siberian Railway.
And the problem is only getting worse. Money even at the elementary state functions have to ask abroad. Names always smiling heads of the IMF and the World Bank Camdessus Wolfensohn learned by heart the whole country.
Trying to supplement the budget, the government announced the sale of the company “Svyazinvest”, which controlled almost all of the country’s telecommunications industry. Young reformers are parties to this war between the clans of oligarchs. As a result of their position weakened considerably.
In 1998, the Russian economy is brought to a complete collapse. Defolt.Posle resignation Nemtsov became one of the founders of the “Union of Right Forces”, goes to the polls and is held in the Parliament. But four years later, during a new campaign to the Duma, political sense already fails. SPS leaders in campaign commercials fly in business jets, although the country was just beginning to make ends meet, and go on a tour of the cities.
But their time has passed. In 2003, the PCA does not get into parliament, scored a record low number of votes – only 4%.
“I’m with Boris next 25 years. I saw him in the most difficult situations. Seen in situations where life hung by a a thread. I’ve never seen him a coward, he was afraid of something. Everybody knows that Boris – absolutely incorruptible man, absolutely sincere, honest to straightness, “- said the head of” RUSNANO “Anatoly Chubais.
“This was all Boris. He gave me a bike and said: Er, it’s time to go. I said,” What are you, in Moscow on a bicycle? “Ira, it is fashionable, you have a fashionable woman, come on. At another time or videos the board gave some who have mastered, in my opinion, even a child can not, especially me. He was very cheerful and handsome, of course, “- said the former co-chairman of the ATP Irina Khakamada.
In postparlamentskoy life Nemtsov could be seen on Maidan during the “orange” revolution, the Russian opposition rallies. Eighteen months ago, he became a member of the Yaroslavl City Council.
Boris Nemtsov was 55 years.
