In February, 2007 we registered 29 attacks with at least 44 victims, 7 of them dead. It's not much more, than in January, but this figure will certainly be higher, because often the attacks are registered much later than they were committed.

The majority of the attacks were committed in Moscow (14 attacks) and St. Petersburg (7 attacks). The majority of the victims come from Central Asia (at least 12 people) and from the Caucasus (at least 11 people).

The most notorious events took place in St. Petersburg and Nizhniy Novgorod.

On February, 8 a special police group beat ethnic Azeri people in Nizhniy Novgorod. Two women, reportedly working for the regional Prosecutor's Office, refused to pay the bill at an Azeri café and left. Two men entered the café and started beating the Azeri personnel. Then 20 special policemen arrived and joined the fight, shouting "Your nation should be exterminated". The policemen poured boiling water on the beaten people. Five of the victims were taken to the police department. They were in a poor condition and the ambulance was called for. According to the café's director, the duty doctor refused to render medical assistance, saying "I hate you blacks, so much". However, later the victims were finally hospitalized.

On February, 16 in Pushkin, a suburb of St. Petersburg, a group of about 15 young people attacked an ethnic Armenian in a shop and beat him. Later they attacked a group of Uzbek people and at least two of them were beaten severely and got knife wounds, one of them died. The police insist that these attacks were committed without any racist motive.

This year the usual February victims of nazi violence - Bob Marley's fans who celebrate his birthday on February, 6 - seem to have escaped from violent attacks, at least we couldn't find any reports about them. However, it certainly doesn't mean that there were no attacks on Rastamen...
