Vox:
When Russian opposition leader and former deputy prime minister Boris Nemtsov was shot to death on Friday in Moscow, the country lost many things. (…) Russia also lost a leader for a protest rally that Nemtsov had been helping to plan for Sunday in Moscow. Two days after his murder, the rally went ahead, but primarily as a memorial for the man who was to lead it. A smaller rally was also held in Saint Petersburg; mourners gathered in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev as well.
Placards of Nemtsov
Ralliers carry a banner reading “Heroes never die — these bullets are in each of us”.
