“It’s absolutely obvious that it wasn’t an accidental murder but a political one,” said YABLOKO leader to Interfax.

According to Mitrokhin, it should be essential for Russia’s authorities to capture those who committed and ordered the crime. “The challenge was tossed. Putin’s personal opponent was murdered,” said YABLOKO leader.

“It’s an act of political terror,” claim Sergei Mitrokhin.

“The case is not about the opposition only. The murder of Boris Nemtsov is a blow to the whole Russia’s society, to Russia’s federal status,” commented YABLOKO leader.
