Vadim Ananyin, head of the Kirov division of the People’s Freedom Party, and Ulyanovsk human rights defender Igor Toporkov laid flowers at monuments to the victims of political repression in their respective cities to commemorate the late politician Boris Nemtsov, who would have turned 65 on October 9. The activists shared this with "7x7."
"He had the ability to unite people. His murder is a tremendous loss for both the opposition and society. He would have been my president, but sadly, that will never happen. May he rest in peace," said Igor Toporkov, who personally knew Boris Nemtsov.
Politician Boris Nemtsov was shot on February 27, 2015, on the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge in Moscow. Five assassins were convicted, but the mastermind behind the murder was never found. One of the killers, Temirlan Eskerkhanov, was pardoned in August 2024 after participating in the war in Ukraine.
