In post-Soviet Russian politics, Boris Nemtsov is one of the most
tragic figuresand not only because he was shot dead, at the age of
56, in close vicinity to the Kremlin, the locus of Russias power.
The transparency of evil in this specific case was shocking:
Nemtsovs murder was filmed by a surveillance camera. The video tape
confirms the demonstrative and insolent character of the
assassination. His death illuminated a core feature of the current
regime that tolerates, if not incites, extra-legal actions against
those it considers to be foes, traitors, or members of the Fifth
Column. In this volume Boris Nemtsov is commemorated from different
perspectives. In addition to academic papers, it includes personal
notes and reflections. The articles represent a range of
assessments of Nemtsovs personality by people for whom he was one
of the leading figures in post-Soviet politics and a major
protagonist in Russias transformation. Some authors had direct
experiences of either living in, or travelling to, Nizhny Novgorod
when Nemtsov was governor there. The plurality of opinions
collected in this volume matches the diversity and multiplicity of
Nemtsovs political legacy. The volumes contributors include: David
J. Kramer, Senior Director at the McCain Institute for
International Leadership in Washington, DC; Miguel Vazquez Linan,
Associate Professor at Seville University; Yulia Kurnyshova,
Research Fellow at the National Institute for Strategic Studies in
Kyiv; Ekaterina Smagly, Director of the Kennan Institute in Kyiv;
Henry E. Hale, Professor at The George Washington University in
Washington, DC; Howard J. Wiarda ( 2015), Professor at the

at Hamilton College; Tomila Lankina, Associate Professor at the
London School of Economics and Political Science; Andre Mommen (
2017), Professor at the University of Amsterdam; Stefan Meister,
Director at the German Council on Foreign Relations in Berlin;
Vladimir Gelman, Professor at the University of Helsinki; Vladimir
V. Kara-Murza, coordinator of the Open Russia movement and deputy
