NEW 🇷🇺 INVESTIGATION - 🧵
Six months ago two audio clips appeared online.
They were recorded inside Moscow's Brateyevo police station on a day when large anti-war demonstrations swept Russia.
Six months ago two audio clips appeared online.
They were recorded inside Moscow's Brateyevo police station on a day when large anti-war demonstrations swept Russia.
On one recording we hear a man’s voice:
“You f****** loser. Do you think we’re gonna get in trouble for this?”
“Putin told us to kill all of you stupid f******.”
“You f****** loser. Do you think we’re gonna get in trouble for this?”
“Putin told us to kill all of you stupid f******.”
The voice belonged to a police officer wearing black who - over the course of six hours - terrorised at least 11 detainees inside the police station.
In some cases, the abuse amounted to torture.
He never identified himself, so who was this “man in black”?

#NemtsovsShadow
In the evening of February 27th, 2015, Boris Nemtsov — a fierce critic of Putin — was shot dead on a bridge in the shadow of the Kremlin.
Five Chechens were jailed for the murder, but the key questions of who hired them for that and why remained unanswered.

Who was Boris Nemtsov?
He burst onto the scene in the 1990s and seemed to embody the hope — shared by millions of Russians — that a prosperous and democratic country might emerge from the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Seven years later, an investigation by our team #BBCEyeInvestigations — working with @bellingcat and @the_ins_ru — reveals that, in the year running up to his murder, Nemtsov was being shadowed by a government agent linked to a secret assassination squad.
According to his documents, the agent’s name is Valery Nikolayevich Sukharev — and all the evidence indicates he serves with the FSB.
An investigation by Bellingcat, @the_ins_ru and #BBCEyeInvestigations has found that in the months before he was shot dead, Russian politician Boris Nemtsov was followed by members of the same FSB squad that tailed @navalny and other opposition figures bellingcat.com/news/2022/03/2…
@the_ins_ru @navalny Nemtsov was once the man many thought would succeed Boris Yeltsin before Vladimir Putin was appointed acting president of Russia in December 1999.

Five men were convicted for the murder, but the most urgent questions were never answered: who ordered the hit, and why?

…the same assassination squad that poisoned @navalny
