Camden remembers Boris Nemtsov, who courageously stood up for democracy, justice and peace.

Boris Nemtsov, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia under Boris Yeltsin, led opposition to and openly criticised Vladimir Putin’s government. He labelled it a dictatorship, exposed government corruption and stood up against military interventions in Ukraine. He was assassinated in Moscow in 2015.

Following his death, democracy campaigner Vladimir Kara-Murza has worked to honour his legacy and spoken out against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
