The Assassination Of Boris Nemtsov

Angst! Peur! Miedo! Страх! Fear! Regardless of what language it is said in, fear carries the same meaning.

Considering that in its 25 years of existence, Uzbekistan has never held democratic elections and that nearly half of the country’s 32 million citizens have only lived under Karimov, such a delay in announcing the Uzbekistani leader’s death signifies that the regime is concerned about maintaining the status quo.
