In December 2008, in Russia, not less than 8 people (including 2 fatalities) became victims of racist and xenophobic violence. As before, we believe this considerable decrease of the number of victims to be due to underreporting (in the same period of time, in 2007, 11 people were murdered and 39 were injured). In December, attacks were reported in Moscow, Novosibirsk, Volgograd and Belgorod.
