Vladimir Putin already has a theory about who killed one of his biggest critics
2015-02-28
[BusinessInsider] Less than an hour after Nemtsov death was reported, Putin entered into the controversy around his death in a second way. The Russian president is "taking personal control of the investigation into Nemtsov's murder," according to a Kremlin spokesperson, something that will not be very reassuring for Putin's opponents.

#18  1. Mr, Nemtsov had no shortage of enemies.

2. Where and the way he was killed were well-planned. Timing, escape routes, etc.

3. The area he was killed was considered "highly secure."

I'm weighing toward a private-contract.

#5  CIA? - g(r)omgoru

I don't think The Culinary Institute of America
would stoop this low to silence one of the biggest critics of Putin, but maybe the FSB aka Federation of Sneaky Bastards might.

#4  So, it was actually Vlad's enemies who did away with Nemtsov [Nemtsov's colleagues], which would make Vlad look like the culprit. Alright, I think I understand.

#3  Nemstov was no threat to Putin and Putin knew it well. He was a drop of opposition in an ocean of Putin popularity. Putin had nothing to do with this. It is more likely that his enemies who want to make him look like a paranoid murderer did this. Which enemies? Its anyone's preference.
