On the evening of November 7, police carried out mass detentions in central Moscow near the Kitai-Gorod metro station, where young “nonconformists” have been gathering for the second year in a row. That evening, police vans pulled up to Gorka Park, where teenagers usually meet. According to various estimates, between 150 and 200 people were detained (though there are reports of 300 as well). Detainees said there was no water in the police vans and they weren’t allowed to use the bathroom.
