THE FEBRUARY 2015 ASSASSINATION OF BORIS NEMTSO...

The book provides a detailed description of the Russian crime of the twenty-first century as
well as a thorough examination of the eighty sessions of the nine-month-long trial (during
2016-2017) of Boris Nemtsov's alleged killers. It directs attention to the chief obstacle in
determining what precisely happened shortly before midnight on February 27  2015  on a bridge
located a mere stone's throw away from the Kremlin  in an area under the active surveillance of
the Russian Federal Protective Service. The glaring absence of closed circuit videos from this
most heavily guarded site in Russia is underscored. Given the absence of such key evidence 
those seeking to investigate the murder have been akin to blind people stumbling about in
obscurity. The attempts to penetrate this man-made fog undertaken during the course of the
trial by the Nemtsov family attorneys  Vadim Prokhorov and Olga Mikhailova  as well as by
numerous tenacious analysts of the crime  such as former deputy Russian energy minister
Vladimir Milov  former Russian presidential economics advisor Andrei Illarionov  and leading
mathematician Andrei Piontkovskii  are covered in full. The uneven case mounted by the
prosecution and the scrappy defense effort of the attorneys for the alleged killers  many of
them ethnic Chechens  are highlighted  as is the non-unanimous verdict which was reached by the
twelve jurors. The findings of this study are in agreement with those of a number of
commentators who contend that the actual organizers of the crime remain at large as does the
assassination's shadowy mastermind.
