Nemtsov to be buried in Moscow

A memorial service will also take place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Sakharov Center.

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who called the killing a "provocation" to destabilize the country, will not attend. Instead, he is sending his representative in parliament, Garry Minkh.

 

Nemtsov will be buried at the Troyekurovskoye cemetery at his family's request.

 

The Russian opposition leader was gunned down on a bridge near the Kremlin late on February 27.
