Subway Hooligans: Crimes And Punishment

This short documentary explores graffiti on the subway system in Saint Petersburg — widely considered one of the most difficult networks to paint in Russia. Although graffiti is often labeled as a crime, the legal reality is more nuanced.

Under Russian law, it is typically only classified as vandalism if there is physical damage to the train, such as parts requiring repair or replacement.

Filmed between 2020 and 2022, the documentary captures a scene operating under pressure, where access is limited and the risks are high.
