Every Friday I feature a photo, some of them sent to me by Lucid subscribers. Usually these are calming scenes of nature. Today I am doing something different. In honor of the many Russians who are protesting Putin’s aggression against Ukraine, risking imprisonment, I am publishing these photographs of Boris Nemtsov, a physicist and politician (he was Deputy Prime Minister in the late 1990s, under Boris Yeltsin) turned Putin opponent.
Nemtsov led protest rallies against Putin’s fraudulent elections. He also unmasked the Russian President’s corruption, accusing Putin of stealing billions allocated for the Sochi Olympics.
Nemtsov was also one of the few Russian politicians to oppose the 2014 annexation of Crimea. He declared that Putin sought to “dissect” Ukraine. He was murdered in 2015 on the Moskvoretsky Bridge close to the Kremlin.

I was just so moved and humbled last night when I saw the bravery and courage of those Russian citizens out in the streets being arrested for protesting Putin's thuggish aggression in Ukraine. Who knows what might happen to them and their families now?
Perhaps … it is a “calming scene of nature” to view pictures of another human, like Boris Nemtsov, who grew into the fullness of human strength, dignity and grace ….. natural possibilities available to each of us in some, useful measure, if we are willing to seek the Light shining above our own Moskvoretsky Bridge
