Russian rightwing radicals celebrated June 12, 2006, an official holiday known as Russia Day, with a number of attacks and meetings in different Russian regions.

In Moscow, six skinheads crashed a cultural event organized by the Azeri community in Lyublinsky Park, shouting Nazi slogans, defiling the Azerbaijani flag, and provoking a fight with the Azeris, injuring at least three. The instigators were detained by the police, but were sentenced only to administrative fines.

A group of young antifascists was attacked on June 12 in Oryol. At around 11 pm, as they walked home from a concert, they were attacked by approximately 20 skinheads, who knocked them to the ground and began beating them. At least five people, including one young woman, were seriously injured. As they learned at the hospital, another young man had asked for medical help that day after a skinhead assault.

On the night of June 13, in Kaliningrad, Central Asian migrant laborers were attacked at their dormitories by drunk employees of a major local security firm, who beat and robbed the seasonal workers. The perpetrators were detained several hours after the break-in; as a result, at least 10 people were seriously injured in the attack. One of the detained security firm employees gave the following reason for his actions: "Our guys were murdered in Chechnya, now we have to revenge on all the blacks". ("Black" is a common slur used for ethnic non-Russians with dark skin).
