SOVA Center for information and Analysis publishes short results of monitoring studies of hate language in Russian Mass Media. The list of monitored media included 54 print and broadcast outlets in Moscow and 6 other regions (Krasnodar, Penza, Saratov, Izhevsk, Yaroslavl, Barnaul). The monitoring was carried out between 1 September 2007 and March 2008, and it coincided with the State Duma and Presidential election campaigns.

We publish a list of the guilty verdicts for the non-violent hate crimes issued in 2008, in Russia. In total, we know about 42 verdicts (we don't include the verdicts which we consider to be unlawful). Besides, there were 2 verdicts for vandalism committed with a hate motive. Admitting the hate motive as an aggravating circumstance of vandalism is very rare, that's why we count such cases separately.
