recent slaying of critic boris nemtsov. he was released from a jail on friday after being detained for 15 days for distributing opposition leaflets. he spoke of nemtsov's death, saying this act of terror hasn't achieved its goal. he was a leading organizationer behind the street protests in moscow in 2011. the daughter of boris nemtsov says her dad died as a hero. it's been a week now. while his grieving daughter won't blame president putin, she says he shares political responsibility. cnn's matthew chance has the this story. >> reporter: he was one of russia's most prominent opposition figures. gunned down in the shadow of the kremlin. but boris nemtsov was also a father. and for the first time in an television interview, his bereaved daughter is speaking out. >> i loved him more than anyone else in my life. though i'm a grown-up daughter. i'm 30 years old. i'm turning 31 on the 26th of march. so we were very close. and i think that he died a hero. >> reporter: he was walking home with his ukrainian girlfriend last friday night, when a gunman fired four shots into his back. the su

death of boris nemtsov. he was assassinated friday near the kremlin walls. within sight of the kremlin. the rally was hurriedly organized. let's bring in matthew chance live from moscow. there was supposed to be a rally led by nemtsov, but once he was killed he was no longer able to be there. >> reporter: that rally was on the outskirts of moscow and against the war in ukraine and the economic indication in the country. once nemtsov was assassinated on the bridge a short distance from the kremlin -- that's red square behind me -- those plans were abandoned and a mourning march was held here right through the official center of the russian capital. tens of thousands of people turning out to pay respects to lay the mountain of flowers that have been placed to nemtsov on the spot where he was killed. the crowds have essentially disbursed now. it is monday here in russia local time. people are still streaming through trickling past to lay more bowuquets. in death, it has sparked concern and political debate in the country about the distributionrection russia is traveling. >> with t

. >> thanks toer erin. >>> police in russia arrested five in the boris nemtsov killing. a sixth suspect blew himself up with a standoff with police. did they act alone or orders from someone higher up. i want to turn to our matthew chance with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, john. the five suspects appeared in court over weekend. one of them has confessed to the killing. he has been named as one from chechnya. the other four protest their innocence. boris nemtsov, the opposition leader in the country, one of the lines of inquiry. it wasn't because of the political activities but comments he made. remember the "charlie hebdo" attacks in paris earlier this year. he spoke out against that. the line of inquiry that was pursued by officials here is because of that he was targeted and killed. not because of opposition to the kremlin. you might see that as convenient for the kremlin who some say is responsible for the killing of boris nemtsov. nevertheless that line of inquiry is borne out by the investigation. the pro-kremlin chechen leader is praising the self-confessed assass

witness they have. she was able to give information, she was right next to boris nemtsov when this happened and she made the initial call to the police. now the other thing that the police have done fredericka we're going to go back to that surveillance video is that they have also questioned the driver of that snowplow that went past the two right as it appears those shots were fired. he apparently told investigators that he did not hear those shots being fired but all of a sudden he saw someone laying on the pavement in his rear view mirror. and then this you can cranian woman came up to him and told him that her friend had been shot. and that video itself is obviously a very important piece of evidence because it does dispel the previous evidence the place had that nemtsov and his companion were walking along that route, and then -- stalked nemtsov, shot him and then got into the getaway car. >> so are investigators feeling with more clarity based on the description you just gave that this was a carefully plotted assassination with a vehicle following him, i guess to make sure t

suspects in the killing of opposition leader boris nemtsov. a sixth suspect blew himself up as police tried to arrest him. what do we know matthew? >> thanks so much. a series of dramatic developments over the weengd with what police are saying is a major breakthrough in their case. that opposition figure in russia five people now in custody. four of them have protested their innocence. one of them who's been named as zaur da da yef. a sixth in the process of being detained. a fire fight broke out with the authorities and he detonated a hand grenade that killed him. that's another twist in this very thickening plot. when it comes to finding those responsible. on the face, it seems there have been some breakthroughs, there's even been a confession. but opposition figures in russia are casting some doubt. very skeptical about the legitimacy of this investigation. both by the investigators and by political figures who know the people who have confessed to this killing or have been detained. that's something being rejected by opposition figures as well, saying this is merely an attempt by

nemtsov, who, if anyone ordered them to carry out this attack against boris nemtsov who you point out was one of the fiercest critics of the leader of russia. >> four of the men are chechen, putin has a long history of batting chechen rebels. is anyone questioning why chechens would want a putin opponent killed? >> well i mean there's a lot of speculation about why that might be. there's been in the russian media, conspiracy theories the chechens may have been hired by the enemies of russia the ukrainian government has been mentioned, as a matter of fact to carry out this killing in order to make russia look bad, certainly it's the position of the russian government that that was a provocation, in order to cast russia in afternoon extremely bad light. but i think the fact of the matter is that chechnya is an extremely loyal part of the country still, even if there's not a war there them. and there are now guns for fire there. and these individuals, if they are responsible for actually carrying out the attack could have just been hired by any party who wanted boris nemtsov dead. that t

vladimir putin's biggest rivals russian opposition figure boris nemtsov was gunned down friday night on the streets of moscow right in the shadow of the kremlin, just as a snow plow slowed down for long enough to obscure the view of a security camera that would have recorded the shots being fired. nemtsov's ukrainian model girlfriend was with him at the time and she is still being held by russian police. her mother now telling cnn that she's afraid she might be blamed for his death. the rallies going on in moscow were actually scheduled before nemtsov's death. he was supposed to lead them and in a way, he still is. matthew chance is on the streets there. matthew? >> reporter: this scene has become almost the site of pilgrimage with so many people in this city making the journey to pay their respects to boris nemtsov in this the exact place where he was shot dead almost literally in the shadow of the walls of the kremlin. thousands of bouquets of flowers have been laid out as a mark of respect and as a mark of shock, all this taking place a day after the biggest opposition rally the russ

they have now at least five suspects under arrest in connection with the killing of boris nemtsov, one of the five a chechen plan named zaur dadayev has confessed to the killing and the plot thicken, as well because the pro-kremlin leader of chechnya has now issued a statement essentially praising dadayev saying that he was a russian patriot, but also a muslim who was angered by support for the cartoons that appeared in the french "charlie hebdo" magazine. boris nemtsov as well as being a kremlin critic was of jewish heritage and spoke out against "charlie hebdo" attack. he was killed because of that and not because of his opposition. critics say it was the kremlin that should bear responsibility for the killing of one of russia's most prominent opposition leaders. matthew chance cnn, moscow. >> thank you for that. let's talk about it. bob baer joins me and former intelligence and security analyst and christopher dickey former editor of "the daily beast beast" and just remind our viewers of the significance of boris nemtsov and his, assassination. >> hes was the first deputy prime mini

. >>> the assassination of a russian opposition figure, boris nemtsov is shaping up 0 as a political theory worthy of the conspiracy netheorietheories. fortunately the big far gaj truck that's blink in the foreground blocks the view of the actual shooting. was at coincidence or was it not? now the woman who was actually with nemtsov that night is speaking out. his girlfriend, fashion model, says that police have been questioning her for the past three days, although she says she didn't see what happened and she doesn't know who killed him. >> translator: where did boris's killer appear from? >> translator: i don't know. i didn't see because this was happening behind my back. >> translator: and by description did this person react to your kb immediately or started calling? >> translator: when i turned i only saw a light colored car but i didn't see the make or number of the car that was leaving. >> what may be also really bizarre is that nemtsov seemed to predict his own death just days before he was murdered. he told a russian news website this. i'm afraid putin will kill me. i believe he w

boris nemtsov. is there anything to say about it? >> i think we are seeing what a brutal regime this is. a regime that i think is stripped more and more of any shred of legitimacy it faces, that it could have. i think that a lot comes down to basically an optimist or pessimist. critics generally pessimistic, authoritarianism on the march. the crucial divide between them and obama, i think obama is basically an optimist. i think he basically believes economic forces forces of globalization will ultimately make a regime like putin not be able to sustain itself forever and certainly not be on the march. >> i think peter's analysis is right. i'm a pessimist. quite frankly part of the problem that we have with putin is that just as now we're talking about nemtsov, six years ago or a few years talking about another, so many opponents of the regime who met mysterious ends. that was time and again we regretted the murders, wondered about the motives of murders, then swept under the carpet for the sake of pragmatic relationship with russia. so these killing continue. i don't know who killed bori
