MOSCOW: Two years after he was gunned down in Moscow, Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov’s murder remains shrouded in controversy, as supporters insist the masterminds are yet to be unmasked. He personified all that,” current opposition leader Alexei Navalny says in the film, admitting he asked Nemtsov not to publicly campaign for him. In the film, billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov calls Nemtsov a rights activist not a politician because he always said what he thought. But despite focusing on Nemtsov’s life, rather than his death, the film still could not avoid touching on his shocking end. Former oil magnate and Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky says in the film that Nemtsov would have wanted to die this way, in the public eye and from a bullet.
