Several thousand people on Saturday solemnly marched through Moscow in memory of Russian opposition leader and former deputy prime minister Boris Nemtsov to mark the first anniversary of his killing one year ago.
Nemtsov, a fierce opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was gunned down while walking across a bridge within view of the Kremlin just before midnight on Feb. 27, 2015. No one has been brought to justice in the brazen attack that shook the country and especially the Russian opposition, which continues to live under threat of attack.
On Saturday, Russian photographer Evgeny Feldman captured the procession of thousands of people as they wound their way through Moscow and to the spot where Nemtsov died, laying flowers in remembrance of the fallen leader.
"We all know and do not forgive," reads a marcher's sign adorned with a rifle's crosshairs meant to symbolize the targeted murder of Nemtsov.

"You must still answer to us for Boris," reads the sign of one demonstrator.
"Not sure it was necessary to murder the man," reads the sign of a man donning a Putin mask at the march. The message refers to the Russian president's quote from last year: "When he was alive, Nemtsov was no longer necessary to the West, he had no prospects. But dead, he was a lot more interesting."
