In June, 2010, the SOVA Center for Information and Analysis issued a new book in English under the title Xenophobia, Freedom of Conscience and Anti-Extremism in Russia in 2009: A collection of annual reports by the SOVA Center for Information and Analysis; [Verkhovsky Alexander, Kozhevnikova Galina, Sibireva Olga; translation - I. Savelieva] - М.: SOVA Center, 2010. - 131 pp.: tables (Academic publication).
This collection of reports summarizes all the major areas of work addressed by the SOVA Center for Information and Analysis in 2009, in a similar fashion to the collection of reports issued a year ago. There are three reports on themes which have become traditional for the SOVA Center in this collection:
- The first report addresses radical nationalism and hate crime, and the efforts of government and society to combat these phenomena.
- The second report addresses problems relating to the freedom of conscience in contemporary Russia.
- The third report addresses the misuse and abuse of "anti-extremism' measures.
The appendices provide details about hate crimes and the prosecution of such crimes. All data were compiled at the beginning of April 2010.
