Nemtsov’s role in plundering Russia

Murdered opposition figure Boris Nemtsov apparently liked to accuse Putin of things he himself was busy with.

“Russia is rapidly becoming a colony of China. Russia is losing sovereignty. This is the main point of modern foreign policy of the Kremlin” Nemtsov ranted about Putin’s stance towards China.

He had clearly forgotten that back in 1997 as Deputy Prime Minister he personally initiated a peculiar diplomacy towards Beijing, arriving a day ahead of President Yeltsin to finalize the hushed agreement on the gas pipeline from the Kovyktinskij gas field in Irkutsk and from Western Siberia to China.

His signature is actually on the agreement between the governments of Russia and China for the transportation of crude oil from Eastern Siberia to China. Nemtsov even participated in the negotiations on the demarcation of the Russian-Chinese border, which ended with the signing of a disadvantageous treaty for Russia.

After Nemtsov’s direct meddling, many Russians, to their astonishment, ended up on Chinese territory.

And what about the agreement with Japan “about some cooperation in the field of harvesting live marine resources”?

Business publications briefly reported that the Japanese were allowed by Nemtsov to fish in Russian waters without having to worry about strict Russian legislation. After only seven years the damage to Russia was then estimated at $10 billion.

The Deputy Prime Minister also aided the Chechen terrorists. He personally signed an agreement on the transit of oil through Chechnya, through which the militants received about $10 million in excess fees for oil transit from the federal budget.

This instrument of financial support for terrorism from the state worked swimmingly before Putin put an abrupt end to it. The Antlanticist press predictably only howled about human rights violations in Chechnya and remained mum on state sponsored terror.

In one interview Nemtsov admitted that he had agreed to become first Deputy Prime Minister under pressure from Boris Berezovsky’s allies. Nemtsov later denied this, but the jury from the High Court of England came to a different conclusion.

Boris and Boris admittedly had quarreled about a stake in Svyazinvest. Berezovsky wanted to buy it, but Nemtsov sold it to Soros!

In 1998 Nemtsov founded “The National Fund for Regional Policy” for the transfer of money from offshore companies, including TNK and YUKOS of the criminal Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Part of the funds went to Nemtsov.

The loss to the state was estimated at 370 billion rubles. But everything remained on the fringes of the law, since after October 1993, the laws were written by scoundrels for scoundrels, and approved by the cohort of senators whom Nemtsov had joined in December of the same year.

His election to the Council of Federation [Russian Senate] was financed by a businessman with a criminal background, Andrey Klimentyev.

Suspects named in Nemtsov murder

The Nemtsov murder investigation has focused on the theory that the crime was organized by a Chechen militant commander Adam Osmayev, of the Dzhokhar Dudayev battalion, who also was named in the case concerning the attempt to assassinate Vladimir Putin. Investigators are allowing for the possibility that the militants, who fought against DPR and LPR, operated at the behest of Ukrainian secret services, since the murder of the opposition leader would have discredited the Russian leadership and destabilize the political situation.

A law enforcement source had told the media that the investigating group has evidence that Ukrainian secret services played a role in Nemtsov’s murder. On the day of the murder the Investigative Committee spokesperson Vladimir Markin announced that the investigators are studying the possibility the murder was intended to destabilize the political situation in the country.

“The murder could have been used as a provocation to destabilize the situation, with Nemtsov becoming a sort of a sacrificial lamb for those who are not overly choosy in their political methods,” Markin told Izvestiya.

The investigators are also working on other versions: political, extremist, business, and personal. However, judging by the quality of preparation and implementation, it was done by professionals. The Izvestiya source said that the killer shot Nemtsov only a few tens of meters from the Kremlin, and it since became known that the murder took place in a spot not covered by a surveillance camera. Moreover, they chose a time during which there are no traffic jams, but there is still heavy traffic in the center which allowed the killers’ car to become lost among other vehicles.

The information that Ukraine’s special services ordered the murder is being verified. The bandits may have performed a mission assigned by Ukrainian secret services, but also avenged the death of their former leader Isa Munaev. He was killed on February 1 during the battle for Debaltsevo, after which the battalion’s command was taken over by Adam Osmayev.

The so-called Dzhokhar Dudayev international peacekeeping battalion is fighting on Ukraine’s side, and was formed by Munaev in March 2014. Munaev fought in the first Chechen campaign against Russian forces, and after 1999 he declared himself the commander of the South-Western sector and participated in organizing acts of terrorism.

Munaev fled Chechnya in 2006 for Denmark, where he received asylum. He founded the movement “Free Caucaus” which, according to secret services, financed terrorists. When in 2014 the Ukrainian government launched the ATO against LPR and DPR, Munaev went to Ukraine and declared the formation of his battalion. Russian sources indicate that he was personally invited Igor Kolomoisky, who financed the battalion. The battalion’s core were Chechen immigrants in Denmark, and citizens of other countries who belonged to terrorist organizations.

Isa Munaev was one of the individuals, along with the commanders of Azov and Dnepr, who supported terrorism on Russia’s soil and who were ordered delivered to Chechnya by Ramzan Kadyrov.

Russian services are trying to establish how many people participated in the preparation and implementation of Nemtsov’s murder. It cannot be ruled out that, in addition to killers and spotters, there were also “controllers” in Moscow who observed the murder’s aftermath and political effect. One of them may have been the Ukrainian deputy Aleksey Goncharenko. Experts who were questioned by Izvestiya believe the theory of foreign secret service involvement to have merit.
