Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has told supporters he will fight and win the Moscow mayoral vote, after he was freed from jail pending an appeal against a five-year jail term.
He has returned to Moscow from Kirov, where a judge convicted him of embezzlement, in a case widely condemned as political.
The court ruled on Friday he could go back to Moscow until the appeal.
The jail term has been criticised by the US, EU and human rights groups.
Navalny told a crowd of supporters at Yaroslavsky station on Saturday that "we are going to stand in the elections and we will win".
He was accepted as a candidate in the 8 September mayoral poll shortly before he was found guilty of embezzlement and there had been some doubt over whether he would run.
