On February 8 and 9, 2007 there were three nazi attacks committed in Russia: one in Nizhny Novgorod and two in Moscow.

On February 8, 2007, in Nizhny Novgorod, Shamsaddin Tagiev, a 45 year-old Azerbaijan citizen, was attacked in a local train. A large group of young men started to beat him, shouting "Russia for Russians" and "Get out of our country". He was hospitalized in a very poor condition.

On February 9, 2007, in Moscow, a 36 year-old Zuhritdin Ravshanov, a street cleaner from Uzbekistan, was murdered. His body, with over 20 knife wounds, was found by inhabitants of one of the Moscow districts. The police assume that it can be a hate crime.

On the same day in Moscow, Aidar Buribaev, a 28 year-old "Russian Newsweek" reporter, was attacked in the subway. A teenager came to him and asked "What are you doing here? Russia is for Russians". Buribaev responded "Not only" and got a punch in the face. Then three more young man joined the beating. Buribaev got minor injuries of the face.

Presumably, this series of attacks was committed in commemoration of Pawel Ryazanzev, a rightwing radical activist, who was killed in Moscow 40 days before. On February 7, 2007 an ultra-rightwing march in Moscow took place in memory of their "brother-in-arms". There is a tradition of commemorating a 40th day of death, and neo-nazis follow this tradition by arranging a series of attacks, as it happened in June 2006, after a St. Petersburg nazi skinhead, Dmitry Borovikov, was killed by police on May 18, 2006.
