What is the significance of the ongoing conflict surrounding the Boris Nemtsov memorial in Moscow?

For ten years, volunteers have maintained an informal memorial to Boris Nemtsov on the Big Moskvoretsky Bridge in Moscow, despite opposition and vandalism. Recently, a volunteer, Viktor Levakov, received a 3.5-year prison sentence for donating to an organization deemed extremist in Russia. This sentence was issued two days before the tenth anniversary of Nemtsov's assassination.
