數(shù)萬(wàn)人昨日走上莫斯科街頭游行,悼念被殺的自由派政治人物鮑里斯•涅姆佐夫(Boris Nemtsov),這是三年來(lái)該市爆發(fā)的最大規(guī)模反對(duì)派示威。
People carrying portraits of the charismaticopposition leader and waving Russian flags movedin a sombre procession towards the spot where hewas murdered on Friday while walking home from arestaurant a stone’s throw from the Kremlin.
人們舉著這位富有政治魅力的反對(duì)派領(lǐng)袖的畫像,并揮舞著俄羅斯國(guó)旗。游行者在肅穆的氣氛中走向他在上周五被謀殺的現(xiàn)場(chǎng),當(dāng)時(shí)他在離開一家餐廳后,正步行回家,案發(fā)地點(diǎn)距離克里姆林宮很近。
Gennady Gudkov, a former member of parliament and opposition activist, said: “[Nemtsov’s]death has shocked people both inside and outside the Kremlin. People realise it’s a watershedmoment.”
前杜馬成員、反對(duì)派活動(dòng)家根納季•古德科夫(Gennady Gudkov)表示:“(涅姆佐夫的)離世令克里姆林宮內(nèi)外的人們感到震驚。人們意識(shí)到這是一個(gè)分水嶺時(shí)刻。”
President Vladimir Putin has vowed to pursue those responsible for Nemtsov’s killing, which hecalled a “provocation”. But government critics have blamed the Kremlin for the politician’smurder.
總統(tǒng)弗拉基米爾•普京(Vladimir Putin)誓言追緝那些要對(duì)涅姆佐夫被殺負(fù)責(zé)的人,稱這起事件是“挑釁”。但批評(píng)政府的人士將這起謀殺歸咎于克里姆林宮。
Nemtsov’s death has demoralised an anti-Kremlin opposition already weakened by Moscow’scrackdown on dissent and the big jump in Mr Putin’s approval ratings following Russia’sannexation of Crimea last year.
涅姆佐夫的離世挫傷了反對(duì)克里姆林宮的勢(shì)力的士氣。反對(duì)派勢(shì)力本已被削弱,原因既包括莫斯科方面打壓異見,也包括俄羅斯去年吞并克里米亞后普京的支持率大幅躍升。
Yesterday’s march came with Moscow awash with conspiracy theories about who could havekilled Nemtsov, a former deputy prime minister who came to prominence in the mid-1990s asone of the so-called young reformers and had once been touted as a potential successor toRussia’s first democratically elected president, Boris Yeltsin.
昨日舉行游行的同時(shí),莫斯科充斥著有關(guān)誰(shuí)可能殺害涅姆佐夫的陰謀論。涅姆佐夫曾是俄羅斯副總理,他在上世紀(jì)90年代中期作為所謂的年輕改革者之一聲名鵲起,一度被吹捧為俄羅斯首任民選總統(tǒng)鮑里斯•葉利欽(Boris Yeltsin)的一名潛在繼任者。
While Putin critics blamed the authorities, state media, government officials and pro-Kremlinpoliticians portrayed the killing as an attempt to destabilise Russia and floated the idea that thewest was behind it.
盡管普京的批評(píng)者指責(zé)當(dāng)局,但官方媒體、政府官員和親克里姆林宮的政界人士將這起謀殺說(shuō)成是企圖破壞俄羅斯穩(wěn)定的舉動(dòng),并提出了西方是幕后黑手的構(gòu)想。
Organisers estimated the number of marchers yesterday had reached 50,000 — although policeput it at 21,000. Florists in Moscow city centre sold out of their stock, as people boughttributes to lay on the spot on Great Moskvoretsky Bridge, close to the Kremlin, where Nemtsovwas shot dead while walking with his girlfriend.
組織者估計(jì)昨日游行人數(shù)達(dá)到5萬(wàn),盡管警方估計(jì)有2.1萬(wàn)人。莫斯科市中心的花店售出了全部存貨,因?yàn)槿藗兗娂娰?gòu)買花束,然后向克里姆林宮附近的莫斯科河大橋上涅姆佐夫被槍殺的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)獻(xiàn)花。槍擊發(fā)生時(shí),涅姆佐夫正與女友一起步行。
Marchers held black-framed placards with the words: “Boris, I’m not afraid,” and “They killedyou, they are killing freedom.”
游行者舉著黑框標(biāo)語(yǔ)牌,上面寫著:“鮑里斯,我不害怕,”以及“他們殺了你,他們殺了自由。”
The marchers appeared to be a broad cross section of Russian society. “I am proud that I’mhere today,” said Pyotr, a 60-year-old man who would only give his first name. “I have neverbeen to a demonstration before, except for those marches we had to attend in the SovietUnion.”
游行者似乎代表著俄羅斯社會(huì)各界。“我很自豪我今天在這里,”一個(gè)只愿意說(shuō)自己名叫“彼得”的60歲男子表示。“我以前從來(lái)沒有參加過(guò)示威——除了我們?cè)谔K聯(lián)時(shí)代不得不參加的那些游行外。”
But the atmosphere differed markedly from past opposition demonstrations. There was nostage, no music and no speeches. Most people simply chatted quietly under an icy drizzle.
但是,現(xiàn)場(chǎng)氣氛與過(guò)去的反對(duì)派示威活動(dòng)明顯不同。沒有舞臺(tái),沒有音樂,也沒有演講。大多數(shù)人只是在冰冷的細(xì)雨中悄悄地聊著。
Occasional shouts of “Russia will be free” and “Russia without Putin” rose from the crowd —slogans that had been popular during the mass anti-Putin rallies of 2011-12. But the chantingquickly died down.
偶爾,人群中爆發(fā)出“俄羅斯將會(huì)自由”和“俄羅斯沒有普京”的高喊——這些口號(hào)在2011-12年的大規(guī)模反普京集會(huì)中曾經(jīng)流行。但這些高呼很快就沉寂下來(lái)。
“I’m glad that so many people came, but I don’t think this changes anything,” said VeraMatveyeva, a 34-year-old civil rights activist.
“我很高興有這么多人來(lái)了,但我不認(rèn)為這會(huì)改變?nèi)魏吻闆r,”34歲的民權(quán)活動(dòng)家維拉•馬特維耶娃(VeraMatveyeva)說(shuō)道。
