Moscow:
The bridge has been covered by flowers, photos and messages, and continues to be a site for Muscovites to say goodbye to the charismatic politician.
In Russian Orthodox custom, 40 days after the person's death is commemorated with a feast as that is when the soul is believed to leave this world.
Retired engineer Valentina said she would have liked to see Nemtsov as president: "In that case we would not feel shame for our country, we would be proud."
She added that she has no hope that those who were really responsible for the killing would ever be brought to justice.
But there has been no indication over who ordered the killing, with allies of Nemtsov fingering the Kremlin over his death.
Hundreds of supporters of slain Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov gathered today at the site near the Kremlin where he was killed to commemorate his death.
Friends and ex-colleagues of the murdered Kremlin critic held a "Minute of no silence" 40 days after he was gunned down on a central Moscow bridge.
Cars honked their horns as they passed by the flower-strewn memorial that has been set up at the spot Nemtsov died, with doubts swirling over the probe into the former deputy prime minister's brazen murder.
