An intimate portrait of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov – once Deputy Prime Minister and “an heir of President Yeltsin,” later an uncompromising adversary of Putin – that was assassinated near the Kremlin in February 2015.

Election campaigns and hotel beds, protest rallies and office routine, train compartments and courtrooms, night walks and police vans – you have never seen any politician this close. This is a story about how a journalist assignment turns into a genuine friendship.
