In May 2010, at least 25 people, including 3 fatalities, became victims of racist and neo-Nazi attacks. Beside Moscow (2 dead, 10 injured) and St. Petersburg (1 dead, 4 injured), incidents of violence were recorded in Samara (no less than 3 injured), Nizhny Novgorod (2 injured), Rostov-on-Don, Tver, and Izhevsk (one injured in each).

In all, from January to May 2010, 18 people were dead and at least 132 injured in 29 of Russian regions. (From January to May 2009, 30 people were dead and 149 injured.)

People from Central Asia remain to be the largest group of victims (9 dead, 27 injured). Representatives of informal youth movements and subcultures are now the second large group (2 dead, 29 injured).

It is also worth noting, that the amount of data on the attacks against the dark-skinned has increased dramatically in comparison to the last years (1 dead, 15 injured). However, most probably, the matter is not the real increase of aggression against them but the improvement of monitoring manifestations of racism against this group of victims.

In May 2010, at least 6 guilty verdicts (in Blagoveshchensk, Voronezh, Yekaterinburg, Kirov, Murmansk, and Nizhny Novgorod) were issued for racist hate crimes. 13 people were convicted, 5 of them received suspended sentences without any supplementary sanctions.

In all from the beginning of the year, at least 25 guilty verdicts have been issued for racist violence. 88 people were convicted, 30 of them received suspended sentences.

In May 2010, 7 sentences were passed for xenophobic propaganda; 5 of them were issued in Moscow, Vladimir, Voronezh, Tomsk, and Stavropol under article 282 (inciting hate), one in Chelyabinsk under article 280 (claims to extremist activity), and one more in Ufa under the sum of articles of the Criminal Code including 282 and 280. 7 people were convicted, 4 of them received suspended sentences without any supplementary sanctions.

In all from the beginning of 2010, 18 guilty verdicts were passed for xenophobic propaganda under article 282, 4 of them under 280 and one under the sum of articles 282 and 280. 26 people were convicted, 14 of them were released from punishment or received suspended sentences without any supplementary sanctions.

In May 2010, the Federal List of Extremist Materials was updated thrice (on May 12, 20 and 28). It grew from 592 to 617 items. Thus, as of May 31, 2010, the list contains 617 items of which 33 are included twice and 5 are put in the list inappropriately for the court decisions on banning them as extremist are cancelled; one entry is annulled.
