Chronicle of the Guilty Verdicts for Hate Motivated Vandalism. 2009
We publish a list of the guilty verdicts rendered under art. 214 (vandalism) and art. 244 (hate motivated annihilation or damage to graveyards), in which hate motive was taken into consideration.
In 2009 a historical maximum of such verdicts was reached, however, compared to widespread vandalism practice, their quantity is ludicrously small: in five regions of Russia (Moscow, Ivanovo region, Moscow region, Sverdlovsk region and Krasnoyarsk territory) five verdicts were issued (one in every region), by which 6 persons in total were convicted.
