DID UKRAINIAN DEATH SQUADS COMMIT POLITICAL MURDERS?
Duma Deputy and Union of Rightist Forces (SPS) leader Boris Nemtsov said on 21 August that law enforcement officials should look for Golovlev’s murderer in Chelyabinsk, RosBalt reported. “The murder of a deputy is always a political matter, no matter what the motives [for the deed] might have been,” Nemtsov was quoted as saying. Liberal Russia co-Chairman Boris Berezovskii told Ekho Moskvy that the murder “was carried out on orders from the Russian authorities in order to frighten the country’s political elite.” “Authoritarian states based on fear have their own laws…. In order to really frighten people, the order is given to murder a concrete individual,” Berezovskii said.
