February

A Syktyvkar (Komi Republic) newspaper Zyryanskaja zhizn has attracted attention of Rosohrankultura, a Ministry of Culture and Mass media department, which controls the legislation observance. It's regional department has brought an action against the newspaper for a publication which, in it's opinion, incites ethnic and religious enmity and calls to violence.
But in this case is the newspaper would be punished just for quoting local Ombudsman.

On February 8 and 9, 2007 there were three nazi attacks committed in Russia: one in Nizhny Novgorod and two in Moscow. Presumably, this series of attacks was committed in commemoration of Pawel Ryazanzev, a rightwing radical activist, who was killed in Moscow 40 days before.

In January, 2007 at least 39 people, 7 of them dead, became victims of hate crimes in Russia. Moscow remained the center of racist and neo-nazi violence: all of the murders and 11 more attacks were committed there. The attack on a 20-year old antifascist Ivan Jelin on January 14, 2007, in St. Petersburg, became the high profile case of the month.

On January 30, 2007, Russian Supreme Court sustained a verdict to a group of people accused of a murder with a bias motive. The Supreme Court partly changed the verdict, softening three of the six convicts' sentences. The charges which include hate crimes committed with a bias motive were not changed.
