Thousands of Russians have paid their respects to Boris Nemtsov who was buried last Tuesday after having been assassinated in the shadows of the Kremlin !
Nemtsov was one of the two main opposition critics in the DUMA parliament who disagreed with the way Putin ruled in Russia.
Putin was chosen by the retiring President Eltsine to succeed him and not Nemtsov, who had been one of his former vice-prime ministers ! What would life had been like for Russians (and the West) if Nemtsov had been chosen instead ?
With hindsight one can now understand why so many thousands wanted to pay their last respects ! It is the proof that there is a silent oppressed opposition in Russia, waiting for.... deliverance !
