article_snippet: Yet that speed has only raised more questions about who wanted Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov dead -- and why?
article_snippet: Some members of Russia's opposition -- and Nemtsov's daughter -- are convinced Russia's government was behind opposition figure Boris Nemtsov.
article_snippet: Nemtsov, 55, had been an opposition leader for years and had recently been overshadowed by younger members of the opposition such as Alexey Navalny.
article_snippet: So killing younger members of the opposition such as Alexey Navalny now doesn't seem to make sense.
article_snippet: Some of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov's supporters claim Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov had become a bigger threat to The Kremlin, pointing to information Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was allegedly uncovering on Russia's military role in Ukraine that could undermine The Kremlin's claims that Ukraine forces fighting in Ukraine have been just "volunteers.
article_snippet: But the dramatic staging of the killing of opposition figure Boris Nemtsov -- Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was shot in the back on a famous Moscow bridge against the backdrop of Red Square and the Kremlin, where Putin has Putin office -- seems a bit too obvious.
article_snippet: Some Russian politicians and media personalities close to the Kremlin charge that Putin's foes in The West orchestrated the killing of opposition figure Boris Nemtsov to damage the Russian President's image and ignite a civil war in Russia.
article_snippet: But then, Russian media reported, Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov denied involvement.
article_snippet: Russian officials have alleged that Dadayev, a former security officer and fervent Muslim, decided to punish Nemtsov for supporting the rights of the French Charlie Hebdo journalists to publish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.
article_snippet: But Nemtsov's allies point out that Nemtsov was not anti-Muslim and rarely spoke of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed --
article_snippet: Nemtsov was by no means a central figure in the cartoon story.
article_snippet: That's led some back to the theory that Nemtsov was killed because of Nemtsov allegedly explosive information on Russia's role in Ukraine.
article_snippet: Photos of opposition leaders labeled "traitors" have been posted in Russian cities, while at an anti-Ukraine rally in Moscow just days before Nemtsov's assassination, Russians loyal to Putin carried signs and placards with pictures of those "traitors," including Nemtsov.
article_snippet: Now, with Nemtsov's killing, Russian officials and Kremlin-friendly media have whipped up a sandstorm of theories, confounding the most intrepid attempts at establishing the truth.
