Nemtsov and Yeltsin in Nizhnii Novogrod

Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences to Boris Nemtsov’s mother, Dina Eidman.

The message of condolences from the President reads, in part: “Please accept my deepest condolences in connection with this irreparable loss. I sincerely share your sorrow. Boris Nemtsov has left his mark in the history of Russia, in its political and public life. He occupied significant posts in a difficult time of transition in this country. He always openly and honestly voiced and upheld his views. We will do everything to ensure that the perpetrators of this foul and cynical crime and those who stand behind them are properly punished.”

Naina Yeltsina and Tatiana Yumasheva (Yeltsin wife and daughter) expressed their condolences to Nemtsov relatives.
