Police vs. teenagers: Halloween in Krasnodar

On October 31, police in Krasnodar raided places where teenagers were celebrating Halloween. Officers checked the IDs of people in costumes and took some into police buses to draw up reports. The Interior Ministry called the operation “preventive work for the safety of the kids.”

In Moscow, Halloween celebrations also drew the attention of law enforcement officers on the night of October 31 into November 1. Police, OMON riot police and the National Guard conducted raids in the Kitay-Gorod area. Several people were detained, and some were forced face down onto the pavement. Among those detained were teenagers dressed as a banana and a tyrannosaurus: they were made to take off their costumes and were released.
