In post-Soviet Russian politics Boris Nemtsov is one of the most tragic figures-and not only because he was shot dead at the age of 56 in close vicinity to the Kremlin the locus of Russia's power. The transparency of evil in this specific case was shocking: Nemtsov's 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 Nemtsov's personality by people for whom he was one of the leading figures in post-Soviet politics and a major protagonist in Russia's 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 Nemtsov's political legacy.The volume's contributors include: David J. Kramer Senior Director at the McCain Institute for International Leadership in Washington DC Miguel Vázquez Liñán 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.
