There exists—or existed, anyway, such things are usually short-lived—a criminal hipster subculture based on Japanese Manga. It’s named PMC Redan, after a character in the Hunter x Hunter comic, and it haunts parents, law enforcement, and politicians in Russia, Belarus, and especially Ukraine.
The first known appearance of Redan was on February ’22 at the Aviapark mall in Moscow where they staged a fight with a rival gang called CB Ne Meet. The Russian paper Komsomolskaya Pravda (KP) smirked:
The squabble was comical: lads with skinny arms but long colored bangs demonstrated some sort of kung-fu moves. Shoppers were dumbfounded. Zoomers were fighting each other or, alternatively, some athletic-looking dudes.
Back then, police told kp.ru that they had no information about the incident. That can happen when nobody dialed 02 for an ambulance. Media relations of Aviapark speculated it was a prank. [translation by author]
