#1 This might be it - Chechens already inclined to do him in, and Putin gave them the nod. Putin gets plasible deniability, and everyone knows Chechens are assholes.

#2 Sounds about right. However, Putin stands to gain the most from this hit. Right away Putin's crowd mentioned a mystery girlfriend who was with Nemtsov 15 min before the hit.

Putin is looking into this. It might take awhile, however (sarc). Putin is also a devious asshole.

#3 Well, it would certainly be in line with Kadyrov's being a "useful aspect of Islam" to the Russians...
