Thousands of Russians marched through the center of Moscow on Sunday to honor opposition leader Boris Nemtsov two years after he was gunned down near the Kremlin walls, and to call for further investigations into his killing. The 55-year-old Nemtsov, a former deputy prime minister and prominent critic of President Vladimir Putin, was shot dead on a bridge near the Kremlin late in the evening of Feb. 27, 2015, as he walked home with his girlfriend from a restaurant. Police put the number of marchers at 5,000, but a group of voluntary observers said there were more than 15,000 demonstrators. The march gathered together political parties and opposition movements. One banner read, "Boris Nemtsov is a hero of Russia." http://bit.ly/2mt8YGC http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
