Crowds gathered in Moscow on Friday to observe Alexei Navalny's funeral, with allies of the deceased Russian opposition politician saying over 1,000 people had congregated.
Remains of snow clutched to the streets in a grey Moscow, as people lined up outside the church where the memorial service is set to take place.
Heavy police presence is expected, as political tensions run high ahead of presidential elections due to take place over March 15-17.
Navalny's family, supporters and Western leaders have said Russian President Vladimir Putin is responsible for his rival's death, but the Kremlin has denied any involvement.
