The Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was murdered last week in plain view of the Kremlin. Masha Gessen, the journalist, activist and author of The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin (Riverhead Books, 2013) and the forthcoming The Brothers: The Road to an American Tragedy (Riverhead Books, 2015) talks about the murder, including who may have done it and why, and how Russians are responding.
.@mashagessen says it's important to know WHERE Boris Nemtsov was killed: right in front of and "in plain view of the Kremlin."
