Today, we walked on the bridge where Boris Nemstov was shot and killed last February. If you don't know him, you should. He was a prominent opposition politician to Putin and was especially outspoken against the Russian annexation of Crimea, as well as the Ukraine crisis. The bridge consists of three or four traffic lanes sandwhiched between two generously wide sidewalks, with marvelous views of the city. It's about a two minute walk from the Kremlin, and, at the time I was there, it was bustling with tourists and locals alike. Although the murder occured at night, assumedly when the bridge was significantly less crowded, it's horrifying to imagine that a man could be shot down in such a public, populated area. His shooter remains nameless and uninvestigated. The day following his death, Boris Nemstov was supposed to lead a massive opposition march in protest of Putin's war with Ukraine.
