The event was announced by Ivan Tiutrin, Executive Secretary of the Free Russia Forum.

According to him, Russian politicians and public activists, members of the Lithuanian Seimas and the European Parliament plan to participate in the campaign.

One of Russia’s fiercest critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin was shot dead near the Kremlin on February 27, 2015.

In 2017, a former Chechen security officer was convicted by a court of murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Four more men were found guilty of complicity. However, Nemtsov’s family and allies believe that the true perpetrators of the murder remain unpunished.

To commemorate B. Nemtsov, in 2018, the Vilnius city municipality named a small square near the Russian embassy in the name of a murdered politician.
