A day after the funeral on Friday of Kremlin opponent Alexei Navalny, people continued on Saturday to bid farewell to the Russian dissident at his grave in Moscow's Borisov cemetery, undeterred by the presence of police.
Independent Russian media reported that the police allowed the mourners to stay unhindered at the grave and lay flowers. Pictures of the gravesite showed a sea of flowers and wreaths, and a Russian Orthodox cross with a photo of a smiling Navalny.
