Zhanna Nemtsova with her late father’s colleague Vladimir Kara-Murza at hearings in Washington DC in 2018 “When we got there, they had cordoned off the area, so you couldn’t get to the spot. They checked our passports. There was nothing to see because they had put my father’s body into a plastic bag and it was in an ambulance.”The idea of naming the north London junction of Highgate Road, Highgate West Hill and Swains Lane after Boris Nemtsov came from Vladimir Kara-Murza, explains Georgia Gould, the leader of Labour-run Camden Council.
“Very shortly afterwards, he was arrested. But he’s continued to support this from prison, which I think shows how much it it means.” His wife, Evgenia Kara-Murza will be attending Monday’s event on his behalf.Some local residents are concerned about potential safety risks of the area becoming associated with anti-Putin campaigns and say the council’s consultation was insufficient.
She adds: “We followed the standard consultation process for any kind of naming like this. Of 130 people who came forward, 58 per cent were in support. I was written to by a number of Russian dissidents in Camden, who said how much this act meant to them in showing solidarity to the campaign for democracy.”Russian dissidents refuse to be silenced
