A few hours before the murder, Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov complained about the threats he received from the "Kadyrovites".

About this, speaking as a witness of the injured party at a regular court session in the Moscow District Military Court, told the editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy Alexei Venediktov, the website of the radio station.

"On February 27, he said:" Kadyrov and Kadyrovtsy ". I note that he did not say "Chechens", and I, as an informationalist, drew attention to it. He said "Kadyrovtsy" and was very worried about this, because he remembered that in 1996 he collected a million signatures against the war in Chechnya, presented them to Yeltsin, and the war was stopped. "But how is it, I saved them practically, and they threaten me. Kadyrov practically saved him, his father practically saved him, "Boris Nemtsov told me," he said..

Venediktov said that the conversation took place on February 27, 2015 in his office 4 hours before the murder of Nemtsov.

The journalist also noted that he had never encountered aggression with politics towards any religions. According to him, Nemtsov was indifferent in this matter.

According to Mediason, Venediktov further stated that threats to Nemtsov increased after his statements about the attack on the editorial office of the French edition Charlie Hebdo. According to him, Nemtsov tried to convince him that he needed protection, but the politician doubted that the guards would be able to protect him.

As reported by the "Observer", Nemtsov was killed on February 27, 2015 on the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge in Moscow. In the murder of the opposition, Zaur Dadayev, the brothers Anzor and Shadid Gubashev, as well as Temirlan Eskerkhanov and Khamzat Bakhayev.
