Moscow riot police had carried out a "Halloween raid" on Kiti-Gorod the previous night after reports of mass fighting. Thousands of teenagers gathered in the center of the capital, held a salam and fought each other. Some of the participants were taken in ambulances. I was in these parts not long ago, the place became really nasty with drinking and crowds. But it didn't itch until just before Halloween.
