Russian cities have seen a day of rioting, as football fans and nationalist groups protest against the shooting of Moscow Spartak fan Yegor Sviridov last week during a fight with men from the North Caucasus.

About 800 people were detained by police in central Moscow in an attempt to prevent unrest and attacks aimed at members of ethnic minorities.

There was a heavy police presence on city squares and in metro stations, expected to last well into the night.

There were also protests in St Petersburg, where about 60 people were detained.

Many of the demonstrators shouted nationalist slogans and gave Nazi salutes.
