MOSCOW — Thousands of people are gathering in central Moscow to remember Boris Nemtsov, the Russian opposition leader gunned down in cold blood just before midnight on Friday, as police continue the hunt for his killer.

Nemtsov, a former deputy prime minister turned staunch government critic, himself had planned and promoted the march on Sunday to protest against the economic policies of President Vladimir Putin and the ongoing war in eastern Ukraine, in which the Kremlin denies playing any role despite a preponderance of evidence proving otherwise.
