brutal touched a nerve. so many people are coming out now to pay their respects. matthew, what do you expect the mood to be? certainly different from what was expected before. it was supposed to be a vocal and angry march, opposition march. a lot of people coming together under different circumstances, yes? reporter: yeah obviously the theme of the protest, the march changed dramatically. it was a march against the conflict in ukraine and russia. the killing of boris nemtsoc is canceled. a mourning march is rescheduled. they are going to march to this place from a location not too distant from here. much more somber. in terms of how many people will come to it we don t know.
