contents The characteristics of Gaia catalogues, such as trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions of stars, are discussed. Radial velocities of stars are also important for studying spatial motions. The most important results of the kinematics analysis of stellar groups from the nearest vicinity of the Sun are noted, where Gaia data allow estimating a number of parameters with unprecedentedly high accuracy. The issues related to the rotation of the Galaxy and its spiral structure are touched upon. The properties of the Radcliffe wave are discussed in the light of new data. An answer is obtained to the question of the existence of an analogue of the Radcliffe wave in other places of the Galaxy. The discovery of a phase spiral in the $z-V_z$ plane, made using Gaia data, is noted.
