Aleksey Uchitel's "Progulka" ("The Stroll" in English) focuses on some people walking throughout St. Petersburg. I interpreted the movie as a look at general uncertainty about Russia's future. It first it seems naive of Olya to simply let Alyosha start walking with her when she has no idea who he is, but it's as if to say "What can one do given recent events?" The rowdy fans and the gypsies emphasize this.
What I found interesting was the end. It starts raining and the three of them run into the bowling alley. It's after that Olya has a change. It's as though the rain prompted her to see through things. That's my interpretation at least.
I recommend the movie.
