Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released the following statement today after the Washington, D.C. City Council voted to rename the street in front of the Russian Embassy as Boris Nemtsov Plaza:
“After prominent Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was brazenly murdered outside the Kremlin in February 2015, I worked to honor his legacy by renaming the block outside the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C. Because this legislation faced an uncertain path in the Senate, Senator Coons and I looked outside the halls of Congress and enlisted the help of the D.C. City Council to implement this proposal as quickly as possible.
“I am proud that the D.C. City Council has approved plans to rename the street ‘Boris Nemtsov Plaza,’ and I thank Chairman Mendelson and Councilmember Mary Cheh for their leadership. Starting on the third anniversary of Mr. Nemtsov’s assassination, there will be a sign in front of the Russian Embassy to remind Vladimir Putin and his cronies that they cannot use murder, violence, and intimidation to silence dissent.
“It is my hope, and the hope of so many Russians fighting for a free and democratic future, that someday there will be a government in Russia that is proud to have Boris Nemtsov’s name outside of their embassy.”
