Nemtsov will be buried at the Troyekurovskoye cemetery, in southwest Moscow, at his family’s request, the TASS news agency cited Konstantin Merzlikin, a RPR-Parnas lawmaker, as saying Saturday.

The Troyekurovskoye cemetery is also the resting place of another murdered Kremlin critic, Novaya Gazeta journalist Anna Politkovskaya.

A memorial service will also take place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Sakharov Center, a civil-rights centre based in Moscow, the report added.

Nemtsov, a long-time member of the opposition, was gunned down outside the Kremlin in a drive-by shooting on Friday. Thousands of Muscovites rallied on Sunday at a march in his memory.
