Boris Nemtsov’s life and fate follow Russia’s history over the past 25 years. This story begins in the 90s, when Nemtsov was seen as the country’s future president, and ends in February 2015, when he was killed on the Moskvoretsky Bridge across from the Kremlin.
The life and fate of Boris Nemtsov are inextricably intertwined with the history of Russia over the past 25 years. The film begins in the 1990s, when Nemtsov was seen as a possible future president of the country, and ends in February 2015 with his assassination on the Moskvoretsky Bridge opposite the Kremlin while he was an opposition leader. Nemtsov was the only Russian political figure to shine in the 1990s, with its free press, political infighting and low gas prices, as well as in the 2000s, a period of stability, economic growth, censorship and the collapse of political competition.
