At the head of the huge march, the former prime minister who up until the tragic assassination shared with Nemtsov the presidency of the Republican Party of Russia, accused the Kremlin of instigating hatred by dubbing those who oppose its policy "traitors to the fatherland."
"For the defenders of a democratic future for this country to call us a 'fifth column' or 'traitors to the nation,' even at the highest levels, even fromthe mouth of (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, is what pushes the crazies to commit these acts," Kasyanov said.
