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.

If I was marching in that rally I would be afraid.
Anyone know if Nemtsov's mother was at the rally?

Oh I scream and post crazy rants all the time! But Putin uses real bullets, so I'd rather avoid all the state cameras that will be sure to get pictures of everyone involved.

Like the "Animals" that stormed the streets of Ferguson over unsubstantiated claims, these "protesters", too, deserve nothing less than a Russian military presence just like what we saw the USG do in Ferguson.

Putin, the psychopath, probably shot the guy himself..
Good luck to the Russian people.
About 21,000 people took part in a march of mourning in memory of Boris Nemtsov in central Moscow on Sunday, the press service of the Moscow police department said.
"The march is practically over. Participants are leaving the venue. Police say about 21,000 people took part in the march," the press service said.
