A top political nemesis of President Vladimir Putin was shot and killed early Saturday in central Moscow, Russian police said, one day before an opposition rally was scheduled to take place.
Boris Nemtsov, 55, a former deputy prime minister, was shot four times from a passing car as he was walking on a bridge just outside the Kremlin. Interior Ministry spokeswoman Yelena Alexeyeva told reporters on the scene that Nemtsov was walking with a female acquaintance, a Ukrainian citizen, when a vehicle drove up and unidentified assailants shot him dead. The woman wasn't hurt.

Everything doesn’t have to follow political calculation. I am sure Putin has hated him for years.
To: Alas Babylon!
I'm not sure it will discourage Putin's opposition as much as it will galvanize and feeds its discontent.
Lets see what happens when Alexei Navalny is released.

Nemtsov was an annoyance not a threat to Russian leadership.
There were hundreds of ways for the Kremlin to get rid of someone like him that didn’t involve a high profile execution.

He also forgot the dead choir master of his church and his missing gay pakistani college room mate.

Yeah, this stinks, at least in the U.S., the nuts who cook up stories don’t get killed.

They could have done what we do in America with ranting nuts. Mock them!

An interesting twist to the story
if true.
It also said it was considering whether there was “personal enmity” toward him in his domestic life. State-controlled TV and Kremlin-friendly media outlets on Saturday gave considerable attention to Nemtsov’s companion, identifying her as a Ukrainian model 30 years his junior and showing photos of her in alluring poses. The Investigative Committee said the pair were headed for Nemtsov’s apartment.

It gets rid of him. And sends a message to any other potential rivals.

An interesting twist to the story if true. There's no easier way to ensure an aging lothario will be alone in a certain place at a certain time than the promise of a discreet rendezvous with hot young model.
Its an angle worth looking at.

He has only one daughter with his wife. Another one with his secretary and two with a tabloid reporter (all while still married to his wife).
Bill Clinton is envious for sure.
