- The postponement follows reported detentions near their gathering place.

## Summary

The Tretyakov Gallery has postponed a screening of the documentary “We Don’t Meet New People”, which follows teenagers from alternative subcultures who gather in Moscow’s Kitay-Gorod neighbourhood. The screening was due to take place on 14 November, but film programme curator Kirill Artamonov said it had been postponed indefinitely.

The gallery’s film-programming channel attributed the postponement to increased pressure on technical and facilities services after a sell-out exhibition. Directed by Yulia Guskova, the film premiered in June 2026 and follows 17-year-old Gleb as he joins other young people to socialise and discuss relationships and their plans for adulthood. The announcement comes after 150 to 200 young people were reportedly detained near their usual meeting place on 7 November.
