"Successor. The Story of Boris Nemtsov and the Country in Which He Did Not Become President" is a political biography of Boris Nemtsov, written by journalist Mikhail Fishman.
Nemtsov entered public life in the late 1980s, at the height of Gorbachev's perestroika, and in the 1990s he became governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, made a meteoric career, and at one time Yeltsin saw him as his successor.
In the 2000s, he went into opposition to the government, and on February 27, 2015, he was killed on the Bolshoi Moskvoretsky Bridge opposite the Kremlin. Nemtsov became a participant and witness to all the most important events in modern Russian history - from the first free elections and the 1991 coup to the rallies on Bolotnaya Square in 2011-2012 and the annexation of Crimea in 2014.
Based on hundreds of interviews, as well as archival data and memoirs, this book is a journey through Russian history over the last thirty years. Walking with Nemtsov through all the major milestones of the country's recent past, the author seeks an answer to the question: how and why did Russia lose the freedom it had gained?
