MOSCOW - Thousands of people gathered in Moscow on Saturday to mark five years since the murder of prominent Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov, joining a march that organizers said was also a protest against planned changes to Russia’s constitution.
The proposals, widely seen as a means to allow Putin to extend his grip on power after leaving the presidency, will be put to a national vote on April 22. Sergei Tsaplienko, an energy worker, said he was joining the march because he wanted freedom and democracy for the Russian people. Organizers said that linking the commemorative march with a protest against constitutional reform was consistent with the ideas of Nemtsov, who was one of Putin’s most vocal critics.
