To die an untimely death. Lets start with the late Boris Nemtsov. Nemtsov had been an ally of putins predecessor, boris yeltsin. When putin emerged from relative obscurity to grab the presidency, nemtsov became a noisy opponent and in 2015, he was shot dead close to the kremlin. Who ordered the assassination . Well, the truth has never come out, but putins opponents have little doubt. In 2011, i went to moscow to meet Boris Nemtsov, who was then putins biggest, highest profile critic. Putin became a successor and became the president because berezovsky was his friend. And berezovsky supported him very much and berezovsky financed his campaign.

Even if they had just one case of corruption, my corruption, believe me, we will never talk in the hardtalk on bbc. You will came to the prison maybe, maybe not, i dont know. And try to give me some present or whatever.
