Had I held a high position within the government, I'd gather big russian bussiness and give them a strict order: to buy up Sevastopol property under government guarantees. Then the talks surrounding the Black Sea fleet would take on a very different form: it's difficult to ignore investors. Interestingly enough I've received a large amount of offers from Sevastopol enterprises wishing to be bought by Russian capital. I am confident that that is a much more reliable path than shaking the air by statements like "we will never give up an inch of Russian land". Historical justice must be restored by capitalist methods.

About Boris Nemtsov

Boris Yefimovich Nemtsov (9 October 1959 – 27 February 2015) was a Russian physicist, political figure, and liberal dissident who served as the governor of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast from 1991 to 1997 and Russia's deputy prime minister from 1997 to 1998. One of the faces of liberal economic and political reforms in 1990's Russia and a close ally of Boris Yeltsin, Nemtsov became one of Vladimir Putin's most prominent critics, exposing increasing authoritarianism and corruption. He was assassinated on a bridge near the Kremlin in Moscow in 2015.
