Security tightened in central Moscow before march in Nemtsov's commemoration

MOSCOW. Feb 27 (Interfax) - The Moscow city police has tightened security measures on the way to the place in the city center where opposition politician Boris Nemtsov was assassinated a year ago.

Nemtsov was shot and killed on Bolshoi Moskvoretsky Bridge. People are bringing flowers to the crime scene one by one, and their number has so far not been very large. Nothing prevents them from visiting the place at the moment.

At the same time, security measures in a number of districts in the central part of Moscow have been tightened in the run up to a march in Nemtsov's commemoration scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
