Boris Nemtsov – occupier of the Chechen Republic and democrat from the Russian world

Among Russians, Boris Nemtsov, who was killed on Putin’s orders in 2015, occupies the undisputed place of a fighter for democracy in the pantheon of heroes. Our conversation with Musa Lomaev does not aim to describe the life story of the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, we will not dwell on internal Russian problems, we will leave this for the Russians themselves. We are interested in a simple question: on what basis did Nemtsov decide that the Chechen Republic is part of the Russian Federation and who gave him the right to call for the restoration of constitutional order in another independent country? How do these calls differ from the restoration of the constitutional order that Putin is implementing today?
