Russian authorities have closed metro stations and are restricting movement in Moscow ahead of planned rallies in support of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
Many restaurants and shops in the city centre will be closed and overground transport will be diverted.
More than 4,000 people were arrested across Russia during rallies last week.
Mr Navalny was jailed on his return to Russia after recovering from an attempt to kill him with a nerve agent.
The opposition figure was arrested on 17 January for not complying with a suspended sentence. He had only just arrived from Berlin, where he spent months recovering from the near-fatal attack.
Russian authorities say he was supposed to report to police regularly because of a suspended sentence for embezzlement.
Mr Navalny has denounced his detention as “blatantly illegal”, saying the authorities knew he was being treated in Berlin for the Novichok poisoning, which happened in Russia last August.
Mass rallies in support of Mr Navalny are expected across Russia on Sunday, despite fresh police warnings about gatherings.
A number of close associates of Mr Navalny have been detained since last week and others, including his brother and Pussy Riot activist Maria Alyokhina, have been put under house arrest.
