The book provides a detailed description of the Russian crime of
the twenty-first century as well as a thorough examination of the
eighty sessions of the nine-month-long trial (during 2016-2017) of
Boris Nemtsovs alleged killers. It directs attention to the chief
obstacle in determining what precisely happened shortly before
midnight on February 27, 2015, on a bridge located a mere stones
throw away from the Kremlin, in an area under the active
surveillance of the Russian Federal Protective Service. The glaring
absence of closed circuit videos from this most heavily guarded
site in Russia is underscored. Given the absence of such key
evidence, those seeking to investigate the murder have been akin to
blind people stumbling about in obscurity. The attempts to
penetrate this man-made fog undertaken during the course of the
trial by the Nemtsov family attorneys, Vadim Prokhorov and Olga
Mikhailova, as well as by numerous tenacious analysts of the crime,
such as former deputy Russian energy minister Vladimir Milov,
former Russian presidential economics advisor Andrei Illarionov,
and leading mathematician Andrei Piontkovskii, are covered in full.
The uneven case mounted by the prosecution and the scrappy defense
effort of the attorneys for the alleged killers, many of them
ethnic Chechens, are highlighted, as is the non-unanimous verdict
which was reached by the twelve jurors. The findings of this study
are in agreement with those of a number of commentators who contend
that the actual organizers of the crime remain at large as does the
assassinations shadowy mastermind.
