1 March 2015 (BBC
News Europe) Tens
of thousands of people have marched through central Moscow to honour opposition politician Boris
Nemtsov, who was shot dead on Friday. They carried portraits of Mr Nemtsov and
banners saying "I am not afraid". He had been due to lead an
opposition march on Sunday but his killing turned the event into a mourning
rally. Mr Nemtsov's allies have accused the Kremlin of involvement, but
President Vladimir Putin condemned the murder as "vile" and vowed to
find the killers. Opposition supporters gathered at a point not far from the
Kremlin before marching past the spot on Great Moskvoretsky
Bridge where Mr Nemtsov
was killed. Several thousand people have also marched in St Petersburg.
These placards read: "Heroes
don't die" and "These bullets are for each one of us"
