Boris Nemtsov

Boris Efimovich Nemtsov is a well-known Russian politician, statesman and public figure, businessman. Over the course of his career, Nemtsov achieved tremendous success in Russian domestic politics, and in the foreign policy arena, many foreign leaders marveled at his resilience and desire for change. In 2015, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko called Boris Nemtsov "a connecting bridge between Ukraine and Russia."

Boris Nemtsov was born on October 9, 1959 in the city of Sochi. Father Efim Davidovich was an official. Mother Dina Yakovlevna Eidman is a doctor. Boris spent the first eight years of his life in his hometown, but soon went with his mother and sister Yulia to Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod). Despite the separation of his parents, the boy continued to communicate a lot with his father, who helped the family financially and often took his son to the capital of the Soviet state.

The future politician graduated from school with a gold medal, and soon entered the Gorky State University, where he began his successful studies at the radiophysics faculty. After graduation, Nemtsov decided to work as a research assistant. At that time he dabbled in literature, wrote poetry and short stories under the pseudonym Ben Eydman, constantly moonlighting as an English tutor. 

In 1985, Boris Nemtsov initially completely plunged into science, working in various research institutes. The man became a candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, in his "piggy bank" already by 1986 there are more than 60 scientific papers on physics, acoustics and thermodynamics. 

It was assumed that interest in scientific activity would become the basis for his further professional growth in this area, but that all changed in 1988 when Nemtsov joined the environmental movement. The members of the association opposed the construction of the Gorky nuclear heating plant (as a result, the construction of the facility was stopped). From that moment on, politics became the main component of Boris Nemtsov's life.

The fight against the construction of a large strategic facility was the beginning of Boris Nemtsov's political career. In 1989, the aspiring politician was nominated as a candidate for People's Deputies of the USSR from the regional society "For Atomic Safety", but the representatives of the election commission did not register him. 

In 1990, Boris Nemtsov joined the election campaign, taking an active part in the creation of a new political association "Candidates for Democracy". As a result, he managed to win the elections and became a people's deputy of the RSFSR. In addition, he was a member of the deputy groups "Russian Union", "Non-Party Deputies" and "Smena".  

The year 1991 can be called a certain breakthrough in the career of Boris Efimovich. He becomes a confidant of the presidential candidate Boris Yeltsin. The powers of the new representative of the head of the Russian Federation extended to the territory of the entire Nizhny Novgorod region. In August of the same year, a well-known official, while on vacation with his family in the Russian capital, took part in the defense of the White House. 

On November 30, 1991, Nemtsov was appointed head of the administration of the Nizhny Novgorod region, becoming the country's youngest leader of such a high level. During his tenure as governor, he managed to implement quite successful programs on the Russian territory entrusted to him. In particular, Nemtsov's list of successful initiatives includes the Meter by Meter program (initiatives to reform the housing conditions for military personnel), as well as Narodny Telefon, Gasification of Villages and ZERNO.

As governor, Boris Efimovich has repeatedly criticized the economic program of the Prime Minister of the RSFSR Yegor Gaidar, but in the future the politician will still appreciate the efforts of an economist who tried to stop the process of destruction of economic sectors of the not so long ago omnipotent Soviet Union. 

Nemtsov argued that the reforms were not fully implemented, and he considered the government's inaction as a manifestation of weakness. Thus, he decides in December 1991 to invite Grigory Yavlinsky to the Nizhny Novgorod region to organize the economic reform of the region. In 1992, Yavlinsky, heading the research institute Center for Economic and Political Research "EPIcenter", developed together with Nemtsov a large-scale program of regional reforms. 

In December 1993, residents of the Nizhny Novgorod region elect their governor to the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, and in February 1994 he becomes a member of the Federation Council committee on currency and credit regulation.  

In 1995, Nemtsov again became the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region. At that time, Boris Efimovich had a reputation as a progressive reformer, and his considerable experience in restructuring the economic sectors of a particular region in the government was recommended to be introduced in all municipalities of the state. Reformative thinking, assertiveness, the effectiveness of the implementation of programs and the successful implementation of ideas in practice have become a kind of meaningful combination of factors that made many citizens believe that it was Boris Efimovich who could become the meaningful force for Russia that would lead the country to prosperity.       

It should be noted that during his tenure as governor, Nemtsov became a well-known media character due to an altercation with the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia Vladimir Zhirinovsky on ORT's live television. During the telecast, Zhirinovsky doused his opponent with mango juice.

In 1996, Boris Nemtsov, taking the initiative, organized a collection of signatures in the Nizhny Novgorod region for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Chechnya. These signatures were submitted to President Yeltsin for consideration.

In March 1997, Nemtsov already holds the post of First Deputy Prime Minister in the government of Viktor Chernomyrdin. In his new position, Boris Efimovich began to supervise the social block, and also exercised control in the field of natural monopolies. He has repeatedly proposed introducing new programs that could completely change the state of affairs in the country, laying a powerful foundation for the development of the entire socio-economic sector in the future.    

In the spring of 1998, a large-scale reorganization of the government took place, Sergei Kirienko became the head of the Cabinet. Despite significant changes, Nemtsov continues to oversee the financial and economic block, he is still entrusted with the most important tasks in the financial sector. After the default in August 1998, the Cabinet of Ministers of Russia resigns, Boris Nemtsov leaves the post of Deputy Prime Minister.

As the deputy chairman of the government, Boris Yefimovich was remembered by citizens for his appeal to transfer all Russian officials to vehicles of domestic production. Thirteen years later, Dmitry Medvedev, who served as president of the Russian Federation, made a similar proposal, but Nemtsov, already the main oppositionist to the current government, called this idea "stale and unpromising."

Saying goodbye to the executive branch, Nemtsov created the Young Russia movement. In 1999 he was elected to the State Duma as part of the Union of Right Forces electoral bloc. On March 1, 2000, Boris Efimovich was elected from this faction as deputy chairman of the Russian parliament.

In December 2003, the Union of Right Forces did not receive the necessary electoral support at the elections, without getting into the State Duma of the IV convocation. In 2004, Nemtsov resigned along with other co-chairmen of the political council, explaining this situation as a failure in the elections.

Even before his resignation from the post of co-chairman of the Union of Right Forces, Nemtsov was one of the main founders of the organization “Committee 2008: Free Choice”, chess player Garry Kasparov became the leader. The goal of the organization was to consolidate all liberal forces on a single platform for further effective activities in the political arena. Boris assumed that such an initiative would help change the vector of state development precisely due to radical changes in the structure of public administration at the highest level.     

In the fall of 2004, Boris Nemtsov supported the supporters of the Orange Revolution in Ukraine. He took an active part in protests on the Maidan Nezalezhnosti in Kiev. The Russian politician welcomed the victory of the Ukrainian "right" and expressed his readiness to support them in an effort to extend his vision of change to Russia. On the main square of the country, Ukrainian citizens greeted Nemtsov's speeches. 

In his speech, he repeatedly stated his readiness to hold similar actions in the Russian Federation. His vision of the development of the Russian state was not perceived at home. This often became the reason for criticism of Nemtsov in the Russian Federation, but the politician continued to work, trying to realize his own ambitious plans. From 2005 to 2006, Nemtsov served as a freelance advisor to the President of Ukraine. Viktor Yushchenko, who was the head of the Ukrainian state, then said that "Nemtsov's advice was not fateful, but he did everything he could."

In March 2007, Boris Efimovich welcomed the results of the next parliamentary elections with the participation of the Union of Right Forces, since the party was able to overcome the 7% barrier in six of the nine regions. In September 2007, Nemtsov entered the top three on the list of a political force, but did not become a State Duma deputy, since the party gained only 0.96% of the vote. 

In 2007, Boris Nemtsov ran for the post of head of the Russian Federation, but according to the results of the vote, the politician could not get even 1% of the votes of citizens. After that, harsh criticism poured in the address of the politician: some politicians spoke negatively about the results of his work in the political sphere. In the same year, Boris Nemtsov's book "Confessions of a Rebel" was published.

In February 2008, Nemtsov announced that he was suspending his membership in the Union of Right Forces. The politician refused to explain such a decision, but specified that he intends to continue to cooperate with the party in various directions. Yet despite his efforts, the political association ceases to exist. 

In 2008, the famous politician, together with his colleagues, decided to organize a new opposition movement "Solidarity". The decision to organize the political force was made at the St. Petersburg conference "A New Agenda for the Democratic Movement." He also took part in organizing Solidarity conferences in Moscow, Krasnodar, Irkutsk, Ufa and Nizhny Novgorod. Kasparov and Nemtsov become leaders of Solidarity.

In 2009, Nemtsov was announced a candidate for mayor of the future capital of the 2014 Winter Olympics - the city of Sochi. Nemtsov lost the elections in April 2009, finishing in second place.  

In 2010, Nemtsov takes part in the creation of the opposition coalition "For Russia without arbitrariness and corruption." On the basis of a new political platform, it was decided to organize an effective party to win the parliamentary elections. It was established in December 2010 as the Party of People's Freedom (PARNAS). The opposition has high hopes for the new political force, but PARNAS was denied registration in 2011.

On December 31, 2010, Boris Nemtsov, together with Ilya Yashin (Nemtsov's associate in Solidarity), were detained by police officers on Triumfalnaya Square after speaking at a rally, which had previously been coordinated with the capital's mayor's office without much confrontation. Law enforcers accused Nemtsov of violating public order, he served 15 days of arrest. 

The last years of Boris Nemtsov's life were remembered for the constant criminal proceedings. In 2012, he was charged with beating blogger Maxim Perevalov, but the case was completed, and the video in which Nemtsov allegedly beats Perevalov at Domodedovo turned out to be irrelevant, since the blogger confused the politician at the airport with another person. It turned out that the well-known politician was not involved at all in the incident.

In 2014, Nemtsov declared that he was a supporter of the Kiev Euromaidan, sharply criticizing further Russia's policy towards Ukraine.

On March 1, 2015 in Russia, he was going to take part in the opposition protest march "Vesna".

Boris Efimovich was married. With his wife Raisa Akhmetovna, they lived separately during the last years of their marriage. Raisa Akhmetovna worked as a librarian. From this marriage, Nemtsov has a daughter, Zhanna (born in 1984). In 2005, the girl decided to follow in her father's footsteps and ran for elections to the Moscow City Duma. Despite support from five political parties, Zhanna lost the election.

Nemtsov also has children from journalist Ekaterina Odintsova: son - Anton, daughter - Dina. In 2004, daughter Sofia was born from Irina Koroleva, who served as his secretary. 

Another lover of Nemtsov was Anastasia Ogneva, whom the politician met in 2012. He dated her for over three years. 

Many accused Nemtsov of excessive attention to the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity, but he repeatedly stated that women had always simply loved him, and men were jealous of this state of affairs. 

The last love of the politician was the Ukrainian model Anna Duritskaya.

Nemtsov loved sports. In his free time, he liked to play tennis, which he has been doing since 1979, was fond of windsurfing.

The night from 27 to 28 February 2015 was the last for the Russian oppositionist. At 23:40 (Moscow time), the politician was killed in the center of Moscow.

The murder of Boris Nemtsov took place on the Bolshoi Moskvoretsky Bridge, when he was walking with the Ukrainian model Anna Duritskaya. The criminals shot the politician, hiding from the scene of the murder in a white car (this was recorded by local surveillance cameras). Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the high-profile murder was "ordered and provocative in nature."

The murder of Boris Nemtsov took place right on the eve of the opposition march, scheduled for March 1, 2015. Thus, the opposition march "Spring" was one of the last projects of Nemtsov, since the public figure until the last moment remained the organizer of the march. Due to the fact that the Vesna march was moved to one of the most densely populated metropolitan areas of Maryino, some oppositionists refused to take part in it, but the well-known Russian politician was not going to stop, calling the demands of the future action “more important than the location of the opposition march ".

The head of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin took the investigation of the crime under special control. Law enforcement officers began to carry out operational and investigative measures. 

The death of Nemtsov stirred up the world community. Foreign political and public figures, having learned about the murder of a Russian opposition politician, called on the Russian authorities to bring the investigation to its logical conclusion. Many in the world have declared that it is a matter of honor for the entire state system of the Russian Federation to find the organizers and executors of the massacre. 

Putin immediately ordered the law enforcement agencies to create a joint group of the RF IC, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB to investigate the circumstances of the terrible crime. In turn, the government also employed the best specialists to find out all the details of what happened.

Friends and associates of Nemtsov were shocked by the tragedy. In particular, the famous Russian TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak, in her Instagram account, reacted extremely painfully to the death of the politician, writing that Boris was "an honest, sparkling, bright person who lived quickly and died like a real fighter."

In 2016, representatives of the RF IC completed an investigation into the murder of Boris Nemtsov. According to the investigation, the customers offered 15 million rubles to the accused for the reprisal against the politician.

The politician's killer was not alone. Shadid Gubashev, Temirlan Eskerkhanov, Zaur Dadaev, Anzor Gubashev and Khamzat Bakhaev are five defendants in this case.

Law enforcers found out that a group of murderers carefully prepared to commit an atrocity, studying the lifestyle of a politician, his place of residence, and conducted covert surveillance. Former officer of the Chechen battalion "Sever" Ruslan Mukhudinov was named by the investigating authorities as the person who ordered the murder. According to the investigation, in September 2014, it was Ruslan Mukhudinov and other persons who offered the perpetrators funds in the amount of 15 million rubles for the murder of Boris Nemtsov. Mukhudinov has been on the international wanted list since November 2015.

On January 20, 2016, it was announced that Nemtsov's murder had been solved. The involvement of all the accused is confirmed by the results of 70 complex forensic examinations.

After the assassination of the famous statesman, many representatives of the film industry decided to tell about his life in their films.  

In 2015, the director Zosia Rodkevich made the film My Friend Boris Nemtsov. In this documentary, the author presented her view of the life of a famous Russian statesman. 

In 2017, another film about Nemtsov, titled "Too Free Man", will also be released. Here we will talk about his political biography. The director of the film is Vera Krichevskaya.

Nemtsov's words that freedom is expensive clearly demonstrate how a politician adhered to his own values ​​throughout his life. For many Russians, Nemtsov is associated precisely with the freedom that he took with him on February 28, 2015.
