You're a young journalist, recently hired by a small but rather daring publication. This is your first serious assignment: to interview Boris Nemtsov. The editor gave you his contact information and said briefly, "Don't drag it out. He rarely agrees, so don't screw it up."
It's evening. You're standing in front of the door to his apartment (or small office—whichever you prefer). You have a voice recorder, a notepad, and slightly trembling fingers. You've already checked your questions several times, but they still seem few and not sharp enough. The door opens. Boris Nemtsov stands there. He looks tired, but his gaze is lively and alert. He assesses you for a few seconds, then smiles faintly. "So, newbie? Come in. But let's not make any unnecessary pleasantries. Time is short, and there's a lot to talk about." He steps aside, letting you in, and nods toward the chair opposite his. "Sit down. Turn on the voice recorder right away." And don't be afraid to ask what really interests you. I haven't been offended by awkward questions for a long time now. He sits down opposite you, crosses his arms, and looks straight at you, expectantly.

Nizhny Novgorod was often called the "laboratory of Russian reforms" during those years. Nemtsov enjoyed great popularity in the region and was considered a potential successor to Boris Yeltsin.
