The famous politician and statesman Boris Nemtsov was known for his numerous novels, and even at the time of his death he was next to his next passion - twenty-three-year-old Ukrainian model Anna Duritskaya.

Nemtsov was a brave and courageous man, a charming and handsome man, whose attention many girls sought. Despite many novels and serious relationships with other women, he was married only once, and Boris Nemtsov’s wife Raisa Akhmetovna knew very well about her husband’s other families and children.

She turned a blind eye to her husband's hobbies, apparently because she was sure that he would never exchange her for any other woman.

When Boris Efimovich began an affair with Nizhny Novgorod TV presenter Ekaterina Odintsova, everyone was sure that a scandal would definitely break out about this, because Nemtsov was then the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, but this did not happen. True, when Odintsova gave birth to a son, Boris Efimovich left the family for some time, but not forever - he said that he and Ekaterina never lived as one family - he came and went, sometimes they went on vacation together.

They carefully hid their affair, and when Ekaterina Odintsova gave birth to her son Anton, Nemtsov came to look at him when Katya was walking with her child in the park - then she was married to Grigory Yegorochkin, with whom she studied together at the chemistry department of Gorky University.

When Nemtsov was appointed prime minister and he moved to Moscow, Boris Nemtsov’s wife and his daughter Zhanna immediately followed him, and Odintsova remained in Nizhny. Later she separated from her husband, also moved to Moscow and soon began appearing as a presenter in the morning news on the NTV channel.

Then Odintsova graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University and organized the Union of Mothers of Russia movement. Two years after moving to the capital, Ekaterina temporarily interrupted her career because she gave birth to Nemtsov’s second child - daughter Dina, whom she named after her lover’s mother.

In Moscow, Boris Efimovich again had a serious affair with his secretary Irina Koroleva, who had previously worked in the presidential administration, and then Irina became the common-law wife of Boris Nemtsov and gave birth to his daughter Sophia.

A distinctive feature of Boris Efimovich is that he manages to maintain warm relations with all his women, and on his fiftieth birthday, all his wives - official and civilian with children - gathered at one festive table. He did not forget about any of his children and was very proud of them. Nemtsov openly acknowledged paternity, and all his daughters and son bear his surname.

The politician’s eldest daughter, Zhanna Nemtsova, graduated from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations. She managed to get married, although the marriage did not last long. Son Anton is passionate about computer technology and is trying to organize his own business. The youngest daughters Dina and Sophia actively show creative abilities - Dina writes poetry, and Sophia sings.

The politician’s eldest daughter found out that she had an eight-year-old brother when she herself was only seventeen years old, and at first it was difficult for Zhanna to accept this, but her mother Raisa Akhmetovna, who had come to terms with her husband’s loving nature, was able to explain to her daughter that she needed to get used to it. In recent years, when Nemtsov no longer lived with his official wife, he still did not intend to file for divorce, although he was in a civil marriage with Irina Koroleva.

Boris Nemtsov tried to create all the conditions for a prosperous life for each of his families - he bought apartments and helped financially. In addition to the women who bore him children, rumors periodically appeared about his next passion. Thus, the media reported that he had an affair with Zamira Duguzheva, Gazprombank employee Ekaterina Iftodi, Anna Lesnikova, who, after the death of the politician, stated that she also had a son from him, by the way, very similar to Boris Efimovich.

According to the girl who was next to Nemtsov at the time of his tragic death, Anna Duritskaya, the relationship between them lasted three years, and before that he had an affair with Anastasia Ogneva, whom he dated for three years.

Russian politician and statesman Boris Nemtsov was killed at around 11:40 pm on Friday, February 27, on the Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge in Moscow (Russia). Nemtsov was shot four times from a white car, reported rosbalt.ru.

It is known that a girl was with 55-year-old Nemtsov at the time of the attack. Her identity has not yet been clarified.

Boris Nemtsov was exactly the man who could confess his love at first sight. He left four children from different women, and officially the oppositionist had only one wife.

Raisa Nemtsova is the first and only official wife of Boris Nemtsov. He met her in Nizhny Novgorod, when he was still a student. Raisa is a librarian by profession and absolutely not a public person. Now she lives in Moscow and is engaged in investments. From her marriage to Nemtsov, she has a 30-year-old daughter, Zhanna, who is engaged in journalism.

Boris also met TV journalist Ekaterina Odintsova in Nizhny Novgorod. Nemtsov, being the governor at that time, saved Catherine’s life: she needed a complex and expensive operation after a car accident. Eventually, gratitude grew into love. Ekaterina gave birth to Nemtsov’s son Anton (19 years old) and daughter Dina (12 years old).

Irina Koroleva, who worked in the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation, was an assistant and secretary in the Kremlin and the White House (USA) for many years, is raising her daughter Sofia. Irina gave birth to her from Nemtsov in 2004.

Boris Nemtsov has always been considered a womanizer politician, around whom many women revolved. According to journalist and writer Igor Svinarenko, all his former common-law wives and children were present at Nemtsov’s 50th anniversary (in 2010).

In 2012, Boris Nemtsov was spotted on vacation in the UAE with a 25-year-old girl, Anastasia Ogneva. Then there was information in the Russian press that Nemtsov met her through an agency Escortmodeli. Later, the politician himself stated that Nastya was his girlfriend.

Let us recall that in February 2015, Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov said that Putin’s popularity in Russia is based on sublimation and people’s desire for significance

The politician admitted that he became a father four times completely spontaneously and in an incredibly cunning way

The politician admitted that he became a father four times completely spontaneously and in an incredibly cunning way

As the latest elections show, the right-wing opposition has practically lost its chances of coming to power in Russia. Because our people hate the Yeltsinoid liberals, almost like Hitler’s fascists. However, in some places representatives of the fifth column still become deputies. For example, in Yaroslavl, in the elections to the regional Duma, the Parnas party creakingly overcame the 5 percent barrier, and the downed pilot Boris NEMTSOV, many years later, again pocketed a deputy mandate (“Edrosy” in Yarik easily gained 42 percent).

In his career, Nemtsov has already worked as a governor, senator and even deputy prime minister. Many considered it to be the successor to EBN, but, fortunately, it passed. The cannibalistic policies of the “democrats” of the 90s put an end to the future of the curly-haired boy - a great favorite and lover of women. The last trait of Boris Efimovich, in fact, led me to him. There are legends about Nemtsov’s Don Juan adventures in the political behind-the-scenes, and I really wanted to hear about them first-hand.

Having met me in the spacious hall in front of the elevator on the third floor, Boris Efimovich cordially leads me into his newly acquired bachelor’s quarters - there is no sense of a woman’s hand here, and it’s generally quite empty.

“Everything you need for life is here: a bed, a table, chairs, dishes, a refrigerator, a TV, a built-in wardrobe,” the owner reassures me. - Today I had breakfast for the first time in my new apartment - I ate yogurt and drank tea with jam. - Did you hang the curtains yourself?- Left over from the previous owners. Do you know how much they ask for them? 50 thousand rubles. Claimed to be handmade. I'm a complete sucker for this. But if I don’t buy it, the owners will take away the curtains along with the curtains. And an empty window is ugly. - The apartment, of course, is gorgeous. In an old house, an elite area. There is a wine store downstairs, next door is the Kazan Convent. Smart choice. - The convent pleases me most of all. When I was elected, everyone - from pensioners to FSB officers - asked me: “Did you buy housing?” I visited 15 apartments. But as soon as the sellers found out that the buyer - Nemtsov, they immediately jacked up the prices. He bargained for this “kopeck piece” for five million rubles. I took out a mortgage loan for half the cost for five years. The living space is a bit small, of course, only 50 square meters, but just right for one. - Where is your apartment in Moscow?- On Ordynka, near the Tretyakov Gallery, I live there with my little daughter Sonya and her mother Irina Koroleva. And I also rent a room in a boarding house in New Riga, because I can’t breathe in the center of Moscow. I'm relaxing there on the weekend.

I give the woman 40 minutes to shop.

They were gossiping about you, saying that Nemtsov left the beauty Ekaterina Odintsova for his secretary, meaning your current companion.

I have lived with Ira Koroleva for 10 years, and with Odintsova I never lived, we only met. I came and went. - But you and Ekaterina have two children together - a son and a daughter.- It was Katerina’s decision to give birth, planned in an incredibly cunning way; she did not consult with me. She simply confronted her with a fact: she was pregnant. Whether you want it or not, whether it’s appropriate now or not, it doesn’t matter. I knew very well that I was raised by my mother and I would not dare to send a woman with whom I had a relationship to an abortion. In general, all four of my children were unplanned. Out of love, but spontaneously. - After the birth of your son, you left the family, leaving Raisa, your legal wife. Do you believe that Odintsova loved you?“She and I have always had a difficult relationship - ups and downs, constant explosions. We clashed all the time, although I am a non-hysterical and compromising person. It annoys me terribly when a person, gritting his teeth, stubbornly insists on his own. If they tell me: “You should forget about your principles, go grovel, humiliate yourself, submit,” I will never do it. I don’t like it when a woman breaks me over her knee and doesn’t wash me, because she wants to achieve something by skating. I already go to work every day as if I were going to war. And when you come home, you want peace and comfort. And if you live like on a volcano, it’s not adrenaline, it’s too much. Therefore, Katya and I just met, we vacationed together in Turkey and Germany. It's not easy with me.

- Because, as they say, you don’t miss a single skirt?

If a wife looks at cheating calmly, it means that she does not have any feelings for the man. But the problem is not that I have many women, but that work comes first. And this leaves an imprint on family relationships. In addition, we rarely see each other - I am constantly traveling and on business trips. I do not and never have had a family nest in the traditional sense. A nest is when we woke up together at eight, returned from work at six in the evening, had dinner, watched TV, went to bed, and again in a circle. With age, I began to value not sexuality in a woman, but character. In my youth, I was a victim of glossy propaganda - stereotypes of appearance are imposed on me and many men. It seemed to me that beauty and sexuality forgive everything. Now I want my woman to be kind and calm. The main thing is not to be a bitch. I hate bitchy, greedy, philandering women who perceive me as a business project. - Are you getting old, or what?- No, I love beautiful women. Lately I've been looking at my wrists. I think it's a very feminine part of the body. And before, like everyone else, I looked at my lips. Lips represent sexuality, kindness or anger, sincerity or deceit. You have big lips - that means you are kind and sexy. Whether you are a bitch or not can also be judged by your lips. But now the main thing for me is femininity; I am not attracted to masculine people. A woman must understand how to dress properly. Some people suit jeans much better than pleated skirts. And a sweater is sometimes more attractive than a deep neckline.

- Do you understand women's clothing?!

I could give you some advice on what to buy. But shopping for a woman is an intimate and nervous affair. If I go to a store with a woman, I ask the question: what do you want to buy? And the answer should be as specific as possible. I give 40 minutes for shopping. That's a lot. If a woman has taste, she knows approximately what she needs. - They say you are generous. Odintsova was showered with gold rings and diamonds, and they bought her an apartment.- Yes, generous. But he didn’t give me rings. Katya actually bought an apartment - it was an investment in a house under construction. I bought foreign cars. - What good things did women give you?- Raika gave me a tennis racket of the correct shape, I was very pleased. Katya - some little things, I don’t remember. And Ira... With my money you can give a lot of things. She buys clothes, without me. And he is never wrong in size. In October, I gave two sweaters for my birthday. - What brands of clothing do you prefer?- I’m not a metrosexual who fanatically watches his appearance. Here Dima Stepanov, the ex-husband of Zhanna's eldest daughter, was a metrosexual. This really bothered me. The man was more concerned with his appearance and clothes than my daughter. I couldn't understand it. Some bows, scarves in his pockets - he could talk about clothes for hours. A man should be a man: clean, athletic, cheerful, energetic, strong, self-confident. No bells and whistles, no glamour. They say women look at shoes - this is such stupidity. If I were them, I would look at my watch. Mine are over 30 years old and were a gift from a friend.

I live on interest from shares

In the difficult 90s, when he was the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, he advertised the MiG-29 fighter. The local aircraft factory received no orders, workers were fired, and we entered into a contract with the Indians to supply aircraft to the Indian Army. To prove that our fighters are absolutely safe, I took the helm of the MiG-29. It was terribly scary! The pilot was flying with me Makarov, hero of Russia. Once, during an accident, he lay down on the instruments so that his head would not be torn off, and blindly landed the plane. And so he asks: “Are we taking off slowly, like suckers, or like adults?” Of course, in an adult way. He says: “Borya, hold on!” We accelerated to supersonic speed - wild overloads, my pupils stuck to the back of my head. As we took off into the purple sky, the pilot said: “Usually after the afterburner the cockpit smells good of shit. And now it smells like your sweat.” Yes, I say, I was sweating a little. I voiced the video myself in English, we sold it to the Indians, they signed a contract for the supply of 20 aircraft - then it was very cool. We saved jobs. The Nizhny Novgorod workers began to respect me then. “You admitted that last year alone your income amounted to 17 million rubles. How did you manage to earn such a fortune? - I invested my first money in the Russian stock market, bought Gazprom shares very cheaply and was able to make good money on them. Then I was involved in commercial real estate, we built office centers in Moscow, also a big income. Now I live only on interest - income from securities and deposits.

I can't deny myself sex

- How old do you feel?

Depends on the time of day. In the morning I was 70, in the evening I was 40. Today in the Duma the adrenaline went through the roof, so I felt like I was in my thirties. I really don’t want to be a weak, dependent vegetable. I'm afraid of old age. I always want to be in shape, and for me, physical fitness and brains are interconnected things. I windsurf regularly. To fight the wind, waves and sun, you need to have willpower and endurance. The wind, if you learn to use its power, helps you win. But I haven’t played tennis for a long time - the joint is worn out, I can’t play.

Many ladies still call you the sex symbol of modern politics. Admit it, does it feel good to feel macho?

- “Machismo” - when you use masculine qualities to get a woman into bed and prove how tough you are, how you are infatuated with yourself. I'm not macho. Yes, I love sex and I can’t deny myself it. I'm a normal guy and I don't collect women. I fell in love many times - it's true. And children became the product of love. - You have four of them. Is it cool to be a father of many children?- I can’t say that I’m a superfather. I pay little attention to children. But there is probably a plus in this. Because all my children are normal. Zhanka graduated from MGIMO. First, she herself entered New York University, and that was when the tragedy with the Twin Towers happened. My daughter was the only Russian who donated blood to help the injured Americans. A long essay was written about her in an American magazine. I was proud of her then. But her studies in the USA hit my career - it’s bad for a politician when his children go abroad. Zhanna called the rector of MGIMO with a request to enroll her and heard: “You are the only fool who is ready to exchange an American education for a Russian university.” Soon the daughter transferred to Moscow.

- Did she really return to Russia to save your political career?

Not only. An anti-Russian campaign began there - the Russians were accused of setting bin Laden against America. It became difficult, Zhanna left. But now she's doing well. He is building a career - working as a TV presenter. His son Anton is a physics and technology student, studying in Dolgoprudny in his second year. Apparently the genes worked - I am a physicist myself. I'm expecting a visit any day now. My little ones - nine-year-old Sonya and eleven-year-old Dina - are studying at school, drawing something, dancing. I don’t know what to do with children under five years old, “oo-too-too” is not for me. The best education is personal example. And I also told all the children: if you commit a vile or vile act, betray your parents, steal, kill, you will never see your father again. Mother can't say that. But I can, I don’t have blind love for children. They shouldn't be assholes.

Three beloved women immediately mourned him at the coffin: his official wife Raisa Nemtsova and two civilians - Ekaterina Odintsova and Irina Koroleva.

Grief brought us, his women, together! - this metamorphosis Ekaterina Odintsova. - I still can’t come to my senses. Scary. Dina's daughter is still holding on, and Anton does not fully believe in his father's death. The son touched Boris with his hands, checked that he was cold... I’m not afraid for myself, I’m afraid for the children. What will happen to them now? They are terribly grieving for their father and are scared.

On this day I flew to Italy. At the airport, customs confiscated my extra money. But I wasn’t upset because of the bills. There was a feeling that something was happening somewhere else and I couldn’t defend myself. On the plane, text messages suddenly started pouring in: “Katya, something bad has happened!” I will help with all I can"…

Borya constantly returned home with the children from the restaurant late at night on foot. I fought with him because of this. He laughed at my fears and said: “Nothing threatens me! You have a persecution mania." A week before his death, he was also walking with his children. So, I didn’t think that they would kill me. If I had feared for my life, I would not have risked my children...

- Did you know about the affair with Anna Duritskaya?

As far as I know, Boris has not been officially married for several years. He told me about this once in passing. He dated different girls, and this is a private matter. But I can say: my children knew Anna Duritskaya. They repeatedly had dinner with her and their father and returned home together and went to a concert. I didn't like it, of course. I said: “Borya, you should settle down already! Irina (Nemtsov’s third common-law wife, Irina Koroleva. - Ed.) is a normal, calm adult woman, come back to her!” But in the summer I decided that I would not delve into his affairs at all. We have different lives, and the children are almost grown. I just gave up on all the disagreements and stopped communicating. I always understood that in general he is a kind person. And I began to treat him like a cousin. This is when you don’t wish a person harm, but you can quarrel over a matter and not think about him at all for months. Since August we have not communicated with Boris even by phone. He met the children himself. It was important for him to take part in raising Dina and Anton. Anton is already 19 years old, and Dina is now only 12.

With Irina Koroleva, because of whom you actually broke up with Boris Efimovich, did he sign or not? It was she who was presented by many media as the official widow.

If only Borya formalized the marriage in these last six months, but I haven’t heard anything about it. He often said that he never wanted to get married again.

- But once you still turned to lawyer Dobrovinsky because of alimony?

It was not about alimony, but about protecting honor and dignity. And lawyer Dobrovinsky advised not to respond to attacks, because this only inflames the conflict. But he explained: “You understand that if you had officially applied for alimony, you would have automatically, without requests or disputes, received three times as much. This is in the interests of the children.” I said: “We need to think about it.” But after a couple of days I abandoned this idea. She said: “My upbringing and my life values ​​do not allow me to sue a once close and beloved person over money.” I always understood: I can earn money myself, but I will never replace my father’s contribution to their upbringing. Therefore, in financial matters I always gave in and now I am very happy about it. Nothing marred the father’s relationship with his children.

I’ll say right away: now I don’t consider the issue of inheritance important at all. There is a law, and let everything be within its framework and as noble as possible, as Boris himself would like. Let someone else deal with these formalities; it is advisable to find a common representative among friends for all the children and Boris’s mother. So that there are no disagreements. Lawyer Dobrovinsky offered his selfless help before the funeral, I am grateful to him. I can't even think about it yet. Let Anton decide who to entrust to manage his affairs, because he is an adult.

-Did you and Boris make peace before his death?

Although we, as I already said, did not communicate for seven months, on Forgiveness Sunday, five days before his death, I wrote an SMS to Boris: “I have completely forgiven you for everything and I ask you to forgive me for everything good and bad.” He did not answer this text message, but he told the children that he had never been seriously offended by me for anything. During the official farewell, I placed an icon of St. on Boris’s left shoulder. Catherine, so that my saint would accompany him on his journey. At the funeral service, I noticed that the priest took this icon and placed it in Boris’s hands, along with someone who brought the icon of St. Boris. That's how they buried him. I realized that this was a sign that Boris had forgiven me too...

TO THE POINT

The main witness to Nemtsov's murder, Anna Duritskaya, fears for her life

The Motherland did not greet the main witness to the murder of Boris Nemtsov kindly. Before the girl had time to fly to Kyiv, threats rained down on her. On Thursday, March 5, the self-proclaimed fashion model came to the police station in Bila Tserkva (her hometown a hundred kilometers from Kyiv) and wrote a statement that she was receiving death threats. She didn’t specify who. I limited myself to one word - unknown. How? By phone. Apart from her words and her suspicions that she is being followed, there is no evidence ()

QUESTION FROM THE EDGE

Why did the killer spare Nemtsov’s companion?

Our observer tried to figure out what role Anna Duritskaya played in the murder of an opposition politician

Why was the Kiev model not injured during the assassination attempt? How could the main witness in such a high-profile crime be released from the country? These questions plague both us, journalists, and ordinary people today. After all, only the leaders of the opposition understand everything – Nemtsov was killed by the bloody Regime. But if he’s so bloody, why didn’t he kill the rebel’s mistress at the same time? Showed humanity unusual for him? Showed a human face? Or did you save ammunition during the crisis? Questions, questions...

3 minutes after the murder of Nemtsov. DVR recording. Recording made by the DVR of a car driving across the Moskvoretsky Bridge 3 minutes after the murder of Boris Nemtsov.

Boris Efimovich Nemtsov is a famous Russian politician, statesman and public figure, and businessman. During his career, Nemtsov achieved enormous success in Russian domestic politics, and in the foreign policy arena, many foreign leaders were surprised by his resilience and desire for change. In 2015, the Ukrainian president called Boris Nemtsov “a connecting bridge between Ukraine and Russia.”

Boris Nemtsov was born on October 9, 1959 in the city of Sochi. Father Efim Davidovich was an official. Mother Dina Yakovlevna Eidman is a doctor. Boris spent the first eight years of his life in his hometown, but soon went with his mother and sister Yulia to Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod). Despite the separation of his parents, the boy continued to communicate a lot with his father, who helped the family financially and often took his son to the capital of the Soviet state.

The future politician graduated from school with a gold medal, soon entering Gorky State University, where he began successful studies at the Faculty of Radiophysics. After graduating from university, Nemtsov decided to work as a research assistant. At that time, he tried his hand at literature, wrote poetry and stories under the pseudonym Ben Eidman, and constantly worked as an English tutor.

In 1985, Boris Nemtsov initially completely plunged into science, working at various research institutes. The man became a candidate of physical and mathematical sciences; by 1986, he already had more than 60 scientific papers on physics, acoustics and thermodynamics.


In my youth | Our newspaper

It was assumed that interest in scientific activities would become the basis for his further professional growth in this area, but everything changed in 1988, when Nemtsov joined the environmental movement. The members of the association opposed the construction of the Gorky Nuclear Heat Supply Plant (as a result, the construction of the facility was stopped). From this moment on, politics becomes the main component of Boris Nemtsov’s life.

Political career

The fight against the construction of a large strategic facility was the beginning of Boris Nemtsov’s political career. In 1989, the aspiring politician was nominated as a candidate for people's deputies of the USSR from the regional society "For Atomic Safety", but representatives of the election commission did not register him.

In 1990, Boris Nemtsov entered the election campaign, taking an active part in the creation of a new political association, “Candidates for Democracy.” As a result, he managed to win the elections and became a people's deputy of the RSFSR. In addition, he was a member of the deputy groups “Russian Union”, “Non-Party Deputies” and “Smena”.

1991 can be called a definite breakthrough in the career of Boris Efimovich. He becomes a confidant of the candidate for the post of President of Russia. The powers of the new representative of the head of the Russian Federation extended to the territory of the entire Nizhny Novgorod region. In August of the same year, a well-known official, while on vacation with his family in the Russian capital, participated in the defense of the White House.

On November 30, 1991, Nemtsov was appointed head of the administration of the Nizhny Novgorod region, becoming the youngest leader of such a high level in the country. During his tenure as governor, he managed to implement quite successful programs on the Russian territory entrusted to him. In particular, Nemtsov’s list of successful initiatives includes the “Meter by Meter” program (initiatives to reform housing conditions for military personnel), as well as “People’s Telephone”, “Gasification of Villages” and “Grain”.

As governor, Boris Efimovich repeatedly criticized the economic program of the chairman of the government of the RSFSR, but in the future the politician will still appreciate the efforts of the economist who tried to stop the process of destruction of economic sectors of the not so long ago all-powerful Soviet Union.

Nemtsov argued that the reforms were not carried out fully, and considered the government's inaction to be a sign of weakness. Thus, he decides in December 1991 to invite Grigory Yavlinsky to the Nizhny Novgorod region to organize economic reform of the region. In 1992, Yavlinsky, heading the research institute Center for Economic and Political Research "EPIcenter", together with Nemtsov, developed a large-scale program of regional reforms.

In December 1993, residents of the Nizhny Novgorod region elected their governor to the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, and in February 1994 he became a member of the Federation Council Committee on Currency and Credit Regulation.

In 1995, Nemtsov again became governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region. At that time, Boris Efimovich had a reputation as a progressive reformer, and the government recommended introducing his significant experience in structural restructuring of the economic sectors of a particular region in all municipalities of the state. Reformist thinking, assertiveness, effective implementation of programs and the successful implementation of ideas in practice became a certain substantive combination of factors that made many citizens believe that Boris Efimovich is capable of becoming the substantive force for Russia that will lead the country to prosperity.

It should be noted that during his governorship, Nemtsov became a well-known media character due to an altercation with the leader of the LDPR on live television on ORT. During a TV show, Zhirinovsky doused his opponent with mango juice.

In 1996, Boris Nemtsov, taking the initiative, organized a collection of signatures in the Nizhny Novgorod region for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Chechnya. These signatures were submitted to President Yeltsin for consideration.

In March 1997, Nemtsov already held the position of first deputy prime minister in the government. In his new position, Boris Efimovich began to supervise the social block, and also exercised control in the field of natural monopolies. He repeatedly proposed introducing new programs that could completely change the situation in the country, laying a powerful foundation for the future development of the entire socio-economic sector.

In the spring of 1998, a large-scale reorganization of the government took place, and Sergei Kiriyenko became the head of the Cabinet of Ministers. Despite significant reshuffles, Nemtsov continues to oversee the financial and economic block; he is still entrusted with the most important tasks in the financial sector. After the default in August 1998, the Russian Cabinet of Ministers resigns, Boris Nemtsov leaves the post of Deputy Prime Minister.

Opposition

As deputy chairman of the government, Boris Efimovich was remembered by citizens for his call to transfer all Russian officials to domestically produced vehicles. 13 years later, a similar proposal was made by the President of the Russian Federation, but Nemtsov, already the main oppositionist to the current government, called this idea “stale and unpromising.”

Having said goodbye to the executive branch, Nemtsov created the “Young Russia” movement. In 1999, he was elected to the State Duma as part of the Union of Right Forces electoral bloc. From this faction, on March 1, 2000, Boris Efimovich was elected deputy chairman of the Russian parliament.


Oppositionist | TRANSLATION

In December 2003, the Union of Right Forces did not receive the necessary support from voters in the elections, failing to get into the State Duma of the fourth convocation. In 2004, Nemtsov resigned along with other co-chairs of the political council, explaining this situation by failure in the elections.

Even before resigning from the post of co-chairman of the Union of Right Forces, Nemtsov was one of the main founders of the organization “Committee 2008: Free Choice”; the chess player became its leader. The goal of the organization was to consolidate all liberal forces on a single platform for further effective activities in the political field. Boris assumed that such an initiative would help change the vector of development of the state precisely due to radical changes in the structure of government at the highest level.

The Russian politician welcomed the victory of the Ukrainian “right” and expressed his readiness to support them in their efforts to spread their vision of change to Russia. On the main square of the country, Ukrainian citizens welcomed Nemtsov’s speeches.

In his speech, he repeatedly stated his readiness to hold similar actions in the Russian Federation. His vision of the development of the Russian state was not accepted at home. This often became a reason for criticism of Nemtsov in the Russian Federation, but the politician continued to work, trying to realize his own ambitious plans. From 2005 to 2006, Nemtsov served as a freelance adviser to the President of Ukraine. Viktor Yushchenko, who was the head of the Ukrainian state, then said that “Nemtsov’s advice was not fateful, but he did everything he could.”
