The city council of Washington, D.C., has renamed the street where Russia’s Embassy is located, honoring the memory of Russia’s slain opposition leader Boris Nemtsov in a move that Moscow has complained about.
Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr., the chairman of the Boris Nemtsov Foundation For Freedom, said on February 6 that an official ceremony to rename the block of Wisconsin Avenue as Boris Nemtsov Plaza is scheduled for February 27, the third anniversary of Nemtsov’s assassination.
