We publish statistics of violent attacks motivated by racial and ethnic hatred, by regions, year 2005.

The table below includes attacks against Russian citizens and foreigners with supposedly non-Slavic appearance, and against leftists and youngsters belonged to subcultures, whom skinheads believe to be "betrayers of white race".

Our statistics isn't full, because it doesn't include:

• victims of mass clashes,

• victims of attacks with clear mercenary motives.

Usually we have no further information about those victims, who were reported as seriously injured.
