Boris Yefimovich Nemtsov, the Russian opposition leader who was known to be a towering figure in
Russian post-Soviet politics and a biting critic of
President Vladimir Putin, was gunned down steps
from the Kremlin walls on 27 February, 2015.
some people think President Putin was behind the assassination."maybe he wants to silent the opposition leader who has been a public critic of his(Putin's) handling of Crimea's issue" some say.
The question on people's mind is;why will President Putin want to silent a fading opposition leader? let's have it in mind that he(Putin) currently enjoys a legendary over 80% approval rating (86% last time I checked). why would he want to assassinate someone who is not a threat to him?
- does he (Putin)want absolute power or is this a ploy to bring down president Putin's approval rating by an external government?
What's your view on this issue?

I think the yankees killed him just for people to point fingers at putin

Let me think first

interesting sir but, don't you think maybe Putin wanted to silent him because he has been making too much noise about the Crimea issue? Think about it, why would the west want to kill someone who has been supporting their cause publicly?

The West might be the assassins, they will like to capitalise on the issues and kill him to make people rise against the president, something similar when they manipulated and destroyed Libya, any thing the West puts their hands it goes up in flames, the wast are like a plague avoid them if possible.

Who stands to gain more from nemstovs death? His death was planned to force the west's hand, this is no longer just about Ukraine, the west had to really take note, nemstovs death was timed perfectly to coincide with russia's testing of UK's air defence. The last european leader who had massive support at home without allowing any opposition started a war tht brough the world to it's knees. The west is now forced back to the table to try to stop putin in russia, nemstovs death is to force nato to be aggressive, to view ukraine as a real european issue. The Ukrainains can't hold out for long anymore against the russian backed separatists
