On Saturday in Moscow, held a march memory of Boris Nemtsov. The march, which began at Strastnoy Boulevard, was completed in the Greater Moscow River bridge, where a year ago, the killer shot the politician. In fact, these mass actions that can unite all the opposition forces, was not in Moscow for a year. According to Interior Ministry estimates, the procession was attended by about 7.5 thousand. Man, but the organizers say about 25 thousand. Man. Beyond that, both friends and colleagues paid tribute to Boris Nemtsov, was watching “Kommersant”.
Once at the beginning of the Passion of the boulevard at 12:30, half an hour before the official start collect a share, it might seem that you got in 2013th, in extreme cases – in 2014. Those flags of the movement “Solidarity”, the same place in the framework, the same posters that tell something about the “criminal regime”. Even the traffic pattern is the same – the Passion of the boulevard to the Sakharov Avenue. How many mass protests were held by these route – do not count. Deja vu emerged and as regulars protest marches Behold the police habitually strives for the opportunity to carry a scythe elderly man, who can always be seen on the street actions in a black hoodie with the word “corruption”, so loud elderly ladies, here young people with white ribbons . Habitually he looked and the main head of the column, about 13:20 journeyed along the boulevards: the flags of “Solidarity”, Mikhail Kasyanov, Vladimir Milov, Ilya Yashin, one carrying a banner

Throughout this film lacked only one thing, and this any sense of deja vu suddenly evaporates – Boris Nemtsov. But, knowing the policy, who was killed a year ago in the Greater Moscow River bridge, one might assume that everything that happens he would have liked.
But now Boris Nemtsov looked at the crowd with only transparencies that carried the marchers. “The right choice, you bastards!”, “I am for honest elections!”, “I am opposed to the annexation of the Crimea!” – Such inscriptions can be read under each portrait of the slain opposition leader. And who knows, quoted the authors of posters has some genuine statements of Mr. Nemtsov, or just about have suggested that could be said at this meeting the politician. Ask was not one.
It began with a procession of detentions. The police suddenly rushed to a group of people on their way to the head of the main column, and after a brief struggle, pulled out of it a man in a rubber mask of Vladimir Putin.

Chanting “Heroes do not die!” And “Germans!”, A little to slow down the column moved on the usual route. Closer to the Pipe Square column, marching along opposite sides of the Passion of the boulevard, a short time converged.

The crowd passed by humming GUM-skating rink, where could be heard children’s laughter and snatches of songs about the “sun rays”, performed by the animators actually repeats the last route opposition. Exactly one year ago, he and his girlfriend Anna Duritskaya just came out of the Bosco Cafe in GUM and went to his home, in the direction of Pyatnitskaya, through the Great Moskvoretsky Bridge. There he caught the killers.
to the place of the murder on the bridge on Saturday afternoon did not go through – all began almost from the place of execution, and continued to grow, so the police had to even put new barriers to the crowd not dumped on the roadway. “Of course, they do Muscovites do not understand for whom” – she grumbled the municipal deputy Konstanin Jankauskas, who crowd pressed to the metal fence with the inscription “ATC CAO»
. A mountain of flowers on the bridge continued to grow.
