Boris Nemtsov, a Russian opposition politician and former
deputy prime minister, has been assassinated in central Moscow late Friday night.
Nemtsov, 55, an outspoken critic of President Vladimir
Putin, had been due to take part on Sunday in the first big opposition protest
in months in the Russian capital before he was shot dead four times this night.
"Nemtsov B.E. died at 2340 hours as a result of four
shots in the back," a government spokeswoman confirms.
