Famous Russian politician Boris Nemtsov has been shot dead in the center of Moscow, according to Tass news agency.

"Boris Nemtsov was shot four times in the center of Moscow at Vasilyevsky spusk. Investigation team is working at the scene," Tass reports siting police sources.

A law enforcement source told Interfax news agency that a white vehicle approached Nemtsov, fired the shots, and rushed away.

Police have dubbed the operation to catch the killers 'Interception.'

Russian President Vladimir Putin was “immediately informed” about Nemtsov’s assassination, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.

“Putin has stressed that this brutal murder has all [the] signs of a contract murder and is extremely provocative,” Peskov said.

What does Guliiani have to say about his brother from another mother regarding any suspicion? Nothing? Well, then it's perfectly fine and dandy.

"That would be me."

Per the WaPo:

He was mayor of Nizhni Novgorod when I studied there in college, and he was one of the good ones, one of the best. He fought against the opening of the nuclear power plant in Nizhnigorodskii province and won, and he fought for his soldiers and made sure they were provisioned in the first Chechen war.

May his memory be eternal. вечная память
