On 26 February, the Yabloko branch in the Altai Territory, will hold in Barnaul a commemorative rally in memory of opposition politician Boris Nemtsov who was murdered in Moscow on 28 February, 2015.

We invite everyone to participate! We obtained a permission from the Barnaul administration for holding the public event.
Opposition politician Boris Nemtsov was killed on the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge in Moscow, by the Kremlin walls, on the night of February 28, 2015. In 2014 – 2015 he openly spoke out against Russia’s war with Ukraine. The Yabloko party believes that it was his anti-war stance, that cost Boris Nemtsov his life. Yabloko places political responsibility for what happened on the government as a whole and personally on President Putin.
