The memory of a Russian human rights defender and a symbol of civic courage comes alive in the very heart of Luxembourg City.
📌 Our organization’s initiative
Our organization has sent an official letter to the Mayor and members of the City Council of Luxembourg, proposing to name the unnamed bridge between Rue Henri Dunant and Rue des Hauts-Fourneaux, near the Embassy of the Russian Federation.
Proposed name: “Boris Nemtsov Bridge.”
✨ Why Boris Nemtsov?
Boris Nemtsov was a Russian politician and human rights advocate, tragically assassinated on a bridge in Moscow in 2015.
His death became a symbol of courage, civic bravery, and the struggle for freedom.
💬 “Naming a bridge in Luxembourg after Boris Nemtsov would be a powerful act of peaceful remembrance and a symbol of respect for freedom, courage, and democracy,” the letter states.
🌉 Symbolic significance
A bridge crossed daily by drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists can become a living reminder of the defense of human rights and of those who sacrificed their lives for these principles.
This initiative would enrich Luxembourg’s toponymic heritage and foster open civic dialogue on justice, freedom, and human courage.
📢 Support the initiative!
We invite everyone to honor the memory and values of Boris Nemtsov so that this bridge becomes a symbol of freedom and courage in Luxembourg.
