Once again another Russian opposition leader has been assassinated right near the Kremlin and the whole world is very furious with this callous and cowardly act. The question I will like to ask is 'who sanctioned this assassination or who ordered the hit on Boris Nemtsov?' The Kremlin has come out to condemn this act and has promised to conduct a thorough investigation into it and also bring the culprits to book. This assassination bears the hallmarks of a Cold War hit.
Did some over zealous Kremlin official do this without the knowledge of President Vladimir Putin just to shut Nemtsov up once and for all? Or judging from how the hit was carried out, the victim was followed to the point where four bullets were pumped into his chest. Who was the Ukrainian lady he was walking with on that day and why was she there? Was this assassination carried out just to make President Putin look evil in the eyes of the international community if what is alleged to be going on in the Ukraine as being reported by some of the Western media houses? Also, what will President Putin gain by assassinating his fiercest critic whiles his approval ratings are at an all time high?
I smell a serious conspiracy in Boris Nemtsov's assassination and I have a hunch some external hands are involved. Why was that location picked? Why did the lady he was with when questioned denied seeing the assassins? I also suspect this was done to whip up popular discontent and protests against the Russian government. What also baffles me is that such murders remain unsolved as the killers always cover their tracks and mop up every shred of evidence that will lead to their capture. This means that the hit was carried out by professional assassins. The truth about Nemtsov's murder will surely come out one day.
