This month, four people fell victim to racist and neo-Nazi violence, with two of them dying as a result of their injuries. Attacks were recorded in Moscow and the Kaluga region. As such, the first six months of the year saw 12 people killed, and at least 45 injured, in 18 regions of Russia as a result of such attacks. At least one person received a serious death threat.

Neo-Nazi vandals also targeted Muslim graves in the Orenburg region this month. Since the beginning of the year, there have been no fewer than 25 incidents of ideologically-motivated vandalism.

Far-right groups were not especially active in June, probably due to the World Cup and the general summer lull in activity.

One notable occurrence this month, though, was the number of summer camps, seminars, etc. held by far-right and paramilitary groups. Such gatherings were held in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Volgograd, Penza, Engels (in the Saratov region), Perm, the Yaroslavl region, and others.

Anti-immigrant raids continued in June. For example, a "Russian Sweep" was held in St. Petersburg on June 15. Nationalists, accompanied by television operator Nevex.tv, marched through a bazaar knocking over fruit vendors' counters. A renewal of the raid phenomenon was announced following this action.

Ultra-right activists attempted to hold a rally to commemorate the assassination of convicted kidnapper-murderer Yuri Budanov. In Moscow, nationalists announced plans to gather at the scene of Budanov's killing, which remains unsolved, on June 10 to lay flowers at his memorial plaque. However, the action took place without significant attendance. In Tula and Yekaterinburg, caravans of cars drove in memory of Budanov. In Magnitogorsk, organizers put up stickers with his portrait.

In Orel, the traditional Ermolovsky March (in memory of General Ermolov) was held on June 4. This year's event drew about 50 activists from the Orlovsky Front, the National Union of the Tula Region, the People's Cathedral - Voronezh (Mazera) and Russian United Action.

We are aware of two convictions in cases of violence motivated by racist hatred, in St. Petersburg and the Jewish Autonomous Region. Nine people were convicted, including members of the St. Petersburg neo-Nazi group NS/WP.

Additionally, on June 27, a Moscow court sentenced Georgy Borovikov, the Pamyat leader and former head of the Moscow branch of the "honor court" of the Russians organization. Borovikov, along with accomplices, were convicted of the assault, robbery, and torture of their "ally" from Ulan-Ude.

Since the beginning of the year, Russian courts have convicted no fewer than 27 people in 11 decisions, in nine regions of the country.

There were at least 10 convictions, against as many people, for racist propaganda this month, in nine regions of the country. Since the beginning of the year, there have been no fewer than 60 sentences handed to as many charges on racist propaganda charges, in 35 regions of Russia.

The Federal List of Extremist Materials was updated twice this month, on June 9 and 27. Entries 2331-2341 were added. The additions include xenophobic materials from social network site Vkontakte, a recent publication of Mein Kampf, neopagan film series Game of the Gods, the newspaper Capital Punishment, and various Islamic materials including videos posted by militants to the website Kavkaz Jihad, which has been deemed extremist.
