Fred Weir, journalist and political commentator from Moscow, was interviewed by Press TV to share his thoughts on the murder of Russian opposition figure Boris Nemtsov.

Weir argues this murder was almost certainly political, adding that it polarizes and hardens attitudes in Russia. He also believes there was some destructive intent behind this murder in an attempt to destabilize Russia.

Weir further says the biggest fear among the Russian people is that this sort of thing becomes normal.
