An absolutely monstrous outrage. They did tear down the memorial plaque for Nemtsov from his building after all. It had been there for only five days.
The plaque was put up on the building where Nemtsov lived by decision of the building’s owners. In other words, it is their property and entirely their right: if they want, they can put up a plaque; if they want, a sign saying “Beer.”
To rip it off and carry it away is plain and simple theft and vandalism of someone else’s property.
And the ones who carried out this filthy act were these goblins:
That is exactly why I’m inclined to disagree with Sergei Parkhomenko that City Hall had nothing to do with this. These faces are already all too familiar: they’re the same “zelyonka attackers” (people who assault opponents with brilliant green antiseptic dye), the ones who splashed my face with toxic filth; the same ones who attack pickets; the same ones who help the Investigative Committee fabricate criminal cases against innocent people with their false testimony.
Judging by how they get information from the security services and how the police carefully fail to find them even in cases where everyone knows their names and addresses, this, too, was hardly done without “instructions from above.”
City Hall has already said it plans to remove the plaque, but doing it themselves would be highly inconvenient. There would be a scandal, journalists, residents rushing out. Especially since the person who initiated its installation is a local deputy who lives in the building. In other words, someone who knows the law.
So they arranged for “assistance from sympathetic patriots.” City Hall sent in these lackeys, and they did the dirty work. In the best traditions of Latin America.
