police department. political change in russia. >> for me the death of boris nemtsov is by all means challenge being brought down. he really shook up the system. >> nemtsov was an outspoken critic of vladimir putin. he was also an experienced politician. he had served as deputy prime minister under former president boris yeltsin and was governor of a city, nisninakarov. he was murdered just two days before a major opposition rally he was due to take part in. >> mr. nim nemtsov i would say was one of three top opposition leaders in russia. he has been a personal nemesis

political leaders that criticize vladimir putin and russian government this year. but i don't think that he is so popular that, in threaten the regime threaten you putin's government provocation he was killed one day before -- >> a lot of things are pointing to vladimir putin because apparently he was preparing to reveal proof of russian troops in eastern ukraine and he had been very, very critical of vladimir putin's policies. >> that's right. >> in eastern ukraine. so a lot of conspiracy theories looking at the kremlin as a possible reason for why he was killed and he himself told a newspaper he felt vladimir putin would have him killed because of

that. >> that's right. boris himself was very close friend of all ukrainian presidents. yushenkov and petro poroshenko. he was killed in the breach nearby kremlin with ukrainian girl strolling 1:00 a.m. so i think putin -- it is not profitable case for putin. who it profit from his death? those who want to antagonize him as a political figure on russian be sin. he wasn't so. he was mairnl known as a political figure --mainly known as

a political figure outside russia. he wasn't so much danger for putin for government. >> how do you think his death will affect russia? there was a big rally called for tomorrow that he was calling for people to support. do you think we could see opposition growing in russia, could we see instability in russia? >> i'm sure it was aimed at instability in russian state russia achieved a certain political achievements because they settled this struggle acknowledge that strikes ever heavy artillery from both sides. and minsk agreement was imlemedded in someimplemented in some way begin to implemented. and i think this development on

ukraine may have some reflection on the situation in russia. because some people here and outside russia is trying to give a push back for instability. to make something push for demonstrators. one who tomorrow will go out in the streets. i don't think they will be successful because ukrainian case, it is not winning case for any politician here in russia. maybe inen ukraine he gave some points but in russia, in moscow i am sure it is not so. >> good to get your thoughts, thank you for joining us live in moscow. thank you. the u.n. envoy is heading to syria for a discussion. trying to get the parties to dom
