We publish a list of the guilty verdicts for the violent crimes in which the motive of ethnic or religious hatred was officially recognized by the courts in Russia, in 2007. The list was made in chronological order on the basis of the SOVA Center monitoring. In 2007, in total, we got to know about 23 guilty verdicts brought in 16 regions of Russia. The news to which we provide links are in Russian language.

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.
