The end of 2005 was marked by two convictions in high-profile skinhead gang cases in St. Petersburg. Following the murder, in 2004, of Nikolai Girenko - an academic known for his opposition to neo-Nazi - and threats against Governor Valentina Matviyenko, the city's law enforcement voiced their commitment to investigate crimes by neo-Nazi skinhead gangs.
Elections to the Moscow City Duma and additional elections to the RF State Duma which took place in Moscow on 4 December 2005 were accompanied by active and extremely aggressive ethno-nationalist, and at times explicitly racist, campaigning. As a consequence, in early December, Moscow saw an outburst of racist violence. Within three days, on 3-5 December, two massive fights and three individual attacks involving neo-Nazi youth gangs were reported, in which two people were killed, two more were hospitalized, and the overall number of victims may be more than ten.
