Putin.War - Boris Nemtsov's Last (and Fatal) Contribution

[jone]

A report, previously in the works, by Boris Nemtsov, outlines the known involvement of the Russian army in Eastern Ukraine.  A 64 page report details the known deaths of Russian soldiers and the compensation received by the families of the dead to keep quiet about the cause of death.

Russia has a history of killing those who would openly challenge the established "Big Lie".  Nemtsov seems to be simply a continuation of that state policy.

Here is a portion of an editorial produced by the Globe and Mail which highlights the (anticipated) report and comments on the likelihood of Nemtsov's demise.

‘Putin. War” is the bracing title of a report on the Russian military’s deep involvement in the Ukrainian conflict. The principal author is the late Russian dissident Boris Nemtsov, who was shot and killed in February, a short distance from the Kremlin.

The content of the 64-page report will hardly be a surprise to many people in the Western world, but President Vladimir Putin has been successful in concealing the facts – and the costs – from most of the Russian public.

Mr. Nemtsov and his colleagues concluded that at least 220 Russian soldiers had been killed in battle in Ukraine, and their families had been pressured into concealing the cause of their deaths – and paid handsomely for doing so.

Another Opposition Leader Goes Down Under Questionable Circumstances:  AP Covers

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/fca9994106924187af520c8599e00699/russian-opposition-leader-hospitalized-after-sudden-illness

MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian opposition leader is in intensive care in a Moscow hospital, and a lack of clarity about the cause of his sudden illness has raised fears of foul play.

The First City Hospital said 33-year-old Vladimir Kara-Murza remained in grave condition Thursday, two days after he was admitted. The Interfax news agency, citing the hospital's chief doctor, said he appeared to be suffering from pancreatitis and double pneumonia.

His father, a prominent journalist also named Vladimir, told Interfax that doctors haven't ruled out foul play, but there was no evidence that his son had been deliberately poisoned.

Kara-Murza was a close associate of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov, who was assassinated in February, and works with a civic organization founded by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the former oil tycoon and Kremlin opponent.

The voices of opposition are not going to be silenced-at least not outside Russia  and while they are alive.
These are very brave people who speak out against Putin.
