Thousands of opposition supporters are expected to march through Moscow to the bridge where Kremlin-critic Boris Nemtsov was shot dead overnight on Friday.
Nemtsov had planned to join the rally to protest against Putin’s economic policies and the conflict in east Ukraine when he was gunned down not far from the Kremlin. In the wake of his killing, the organisers cancelled the march changing its focus to pay tribute to the politician and draw attention to what they said was a ‘red line which has now been crossed.’

On a Russian facebook page a new motto emerged as a play on Nemtsov’s name. “Борис” meaning “Boris” was slightly adapted to “БорисЬ” meaning “to fight”.
Mourners around the world also paid tribute to Nemtsov’s memory. Ukrainians in Brussels laid flowers outside the Russian embassy.
