This month, four people in Moscow, St.
Petersburg, and the Nizhny Novgorod regions were injured as a result of racist
or neo-Nazi violence. The victims were identified as dark-skinned, except one
woman from Central Asia.
As a result, the year-to-date total victims
of racist violence are 15 people killed, 70 wounded, and seven receiving death
threats.
At least six people became victims of
racist and neo-Nazi attacks in June 2011, with three of those dying due to
their injuries. These figures bring the year-to-date totals to 14 deaths, 58
people injured, and an additional 5 people receiving death threats across 15
regions of Russia.
