We publish the list of the guilty verdicts for violence issued in Russia
in 2008 in which the hate motive was officially recognized. The list was
made on the basis of the SOVA Center daily monitoring. In all, in 2008,
we registered 31 guilty verdicts in 18 regions of Russia. Each entry is
linked to Russian language SOVA reports.

In December 2008, in Russia, not less than 8 people (including 2
fatalities) became victims of racist and xenophobic violence. As before,
we believe this considerable decrease of the number of victims to be due
to underreporting (in the same period of time, in 2007, 11 people were
murdered and 39 were injured). In December, attacks were reported in
Moscow, Novosibirsk, Volgograd and Belgorod.
