La Russia che è morta con Nemtsov

Cosa ha simboleggiato Boris Nemtsov e cosa rappresenta la sua morte violenta per la Russia nelle parole di Leonid Bershidsky.

I seriously doubt that Nemtsov's death will invigorate the anti-Putin protest movement. It is too weak to present a threat. Convincing others of the regime's criminality is a weapon that's too heavy for Russian liberals to heft these days. Still, I cannot help but wonder now what my country would have been like had Yeltsin made a different choice back in 1999.

Under President Boris Nemtsov, Russia could have been a country where I could have kept living and working. With his death, that unrealized future has died, too.
