Galina Kozhevnikova. "Anti-extremist summer": skinheads attack - the State Duma reacts
Edited by A. Verkhovsky

This report continues a series of SOVA Center's seasonal analytical reviews started in the autumn of 2004. As before, all materials used for this report are published on SOVA Center's website at http://sova-center.ru. Please, note that we choose not to focus here on the activity of radical Islamic groups (in the North Caucasus and in other Russian regions) and on criminal prosecution of Islamic radicals. We believe that this subject needs to be addressed separately due to its specific nature. This report looks primarily at manifestations of ethnic Russian nationalism, which today is the most active and substantial type of nationalism in Russia.
